Recommended models: H100i V2, H60 (2018) 120mm
In the eyes of many enthusiast players, buying CORSAIR products is equivalent to getting on a "thief ship", and they can no longer do without this brand. Founded in 1994, CORSAIR is one of the world's largest memory suppliers, with excellent performance and excellent quality products, OEM cooperation with many world-renowned computer manufacturers, and its products are highly sought after by gamers, overclockers and enthusiasts around the world. Its water-cooled radiator products are also positioned at the high-end of the memory, mainly for DIY players who have high requirements for heat dissipation performance. CORSAIR is a leader in the field of all-in-one water-cooled DIY, and digital media TweakTown has given it the highest praise as "the benchmark and model of all brands".
CORSAIR has a wide range of all-in-one liquid radiators, including radiators of 120mm, 240mm, 280mm, and 360mm, which can support Intel and AMD CPU platforms, respectively. According to the model division, the 120mm single-fan liquid cooling series is named HS45-HS80, which is smaller and suitable for tight chassis space. The H60 (2018) is the latest addition to the series, using Corsair's own SP Series PWM fan, which dynamically adjusts the fan speed from 600RPM to 1700RPM to reduce noise or increase airflow.
The radiator of the H60 (2018) is a high-density thin radiator, but because it is a 120mm radiator, the heat dissipation performance is not as good as that of a long radiator. The cold head has a white LED light, and the heat dissipation chassis is made of pure copper material, which has excellent thermal conductivity. The noise control of the water pump is very good, only 28.3 decibels under normal circumstances, which is equivalent to the volume of whispering. Among the 120mm all-in-one liquid coolers, the H60 (2018) performs quite well, and it is also the most cost-effective all-in-one liquid cooling recommended by pcgamer and techspot.
The H1XX series is a 240mm model, which is basically a dual-fan liquid cooling radiator, and the price ranges from 800-1300 yuan. This series not only adds a fan, but also provides a computer driver for easy operation. If the chassis volume is large enough, the H100i v2 priced at 839 yuan must be the best choice for getting on board.
The H100i v2 is techradar's best all-in-one liquid cooler, with two 120mm SP120L PWM cooling fans mounted on a 240mm radiator for up to 2435 RPM, which is twice as noisy as the HS60 when fully loaded. The heatsink body is cabled to the motherboard's USB end board, which is matched with the Corsair Link driver software, allowing users to monitor temperature, adjust cooling, and customize RGB directly from their desktop. Comes with a modular tool-free mounting bracket for greater convenience and speed.
In contrast, the price is 1199 yuanH115i PRO is slightly less cost-effective, the radiator only increases40mm, and the fan also corresponds to 140mm, but it is more than 300 yuan under the same workmanship and performance, and the volume is relatively large, if there is no special demand, it is better to buy it directlyH100i v2. The H150i PRO is CORSAIR's only three-fan liquid cooler, and its accessories are the same as the previous model, with a fan up to 1600 RPM and a noise level of 25 decibels, which is lower than the 37.68 dB of the dual-fan H100i v2.
For water-cooled players, the warranty after a water leak is also a deciding factor in buying a certain brand. CORSAIR Hydro Series comes with a 5-year warranty. All of its water-cooled products are water-cooled pipes with woven cloth hoses, with a low failure rate, which is also the mainstream water-cooled pipe matching method in the current DIY field, with good sealing and not easy to leak. It is worth mentioning that the warranty service of foreign brand e-commerce platform malls is usually provided by agents, and CORSAIR has a fixed RMA code for each product, through which users can directly contact the official warranty.
