Corsair Intros New Hydro H100i and H80i Liquid CPU Coolers
Corsair today announced the Hydro Series H100i and H80i liquid CPU
coolers, a re-design of its popular liquid CPU coolers, the H100
and H80.
Corsair says that the new H100i and H80i models have been enhanced
to deliver improved cooling, quieter operation, simpler
installation, and Corsair Link digital control.
To
improve cooling performance over previous generations, the Hydro
Series H100i and H80i coolers use more efficient copper cold
plates, improved manifolds, optimized fan designs, and larger
diameter tubing for increased coolant flow. Corsair's new flagship
liquid CPU cooler, the Hydro Series H100i, utilizes a 240 mm
radiator for increased surface area and cooling capacity. The Hydro
Series H80i uses a double-thick 120 mm radiator and two fans in a
'push-pull' arrangement and is compatible with most enthusiast
cases with a 120 mm rear exhaust fan.
Both the H100i and H80i use new SP120L High Performance fans based on Corsair's static pressure optimized Air Series SP120 fans. The SP120L utilizes wide-body, low-pitch fan blades designed for great static pressure at a lower noise level, and a motor that has been tuned for high torque. Corsair saya that with the new SP120L fans, noise levels have been reduced significantly.
Out of the box compatibility with Corsair Link provides control over fan speeds and noise levels, pump head LED lighting customization, and the ability to create custom cooling profiles from the Corsair Link Dashboard's software interface. An additional Corsair Link Digital connector on the pump head provides monitoring and control of other devices, such as Corsair Link equipped power supplies, Lighting Nodes, Cooling Nodes, and the Airflow Pro memory activity and temperature monitor kits.
The composite rubber tubing is more flexible than the FEP/FPA tubing used in previous coolers, making installation and routing easier but maintaining the previous generation's ultra-low evaporation rates. A new magnetic mounting bracket allows PC builders to quickly configure the coolers for all modern Intel or AMD motherboard sockets.
The Hydro Series H100i is compatible with most cases that feature 240 mm fan mounts designed specifically to support radiators. The Hydro Series H80i is compatible with most cases that feature a rear 120 mm fan mount. All support motherboards based on the Intel LGA115x/1366/2011 and AMD AM2/AM3/FM1/FM2 CPU sockets.
The new Hydro Series coolers are backed by Corsair's five-year limited warranty and technical support. The products will be available in November from Corsair's worldwide network of resellers and distributors. Prices in the United States are listed below:
Hydro Series H100i $119.99 USD
Hydro Series H80i $99.99 USD
