Corsair Cooling Hydro Series h100i GTX complete water cooling

However, all compact watercooling systems combines the basic structure: They consist of two parts – the radiator and the heat sink. Is mounted on two 120mm fans slots during the radiator at the h100i GTX – preferably on the front panel or -oberseite – place the cooler on the CPU area. In the housing of the cooler, the pump and the expansion tank are already installed. Because it is a closed circuit, the system does not require maintenance.

The bottom of the heat sink absorbs the heat of the processor and routes them thanks to copper base plate efficiently to the water on. This in turn is pumped by the pump direction radiator, where the cooling liquid flows through a fine lamellar structure and transfers heat to the air flowing through. The fan again ensures that the radiator is constantly supplied by fresh air. Compared to its predecessor the h100i was further optimized, now looks a little fancier and now has jacketed hoses.

Like the predecessor h100i has also h100i GTX two very powerful fan from the Corsair Air Series, more precisely, two SP120L PWM. Has been optimized for high static pressure, which is important for the operation together with a radiator. These offer specially made blades in the 120-mm fans a better relationship between the static pressure and noise and therefore higher performance with less noise than ordinary fans. It is even possible to increase the fan speed to a maximum of four, which then act in push-pull configuration. The fans are connected via the included Y-cable directly to the pump unit. It receives its power via an additional SATA power connector.

Also known from the previous model, the Corsair Link feature – simply the attached Corsair Link cable to connect to a USB header on the motherboard and the Corsair free download Link Dashboard software. Thus, the coolant temperature can be monitored by the application and the cooling performance can be controlled. The software also allows the adjustment of color effects, because the Corsair logo on the pump using RGB LEDs in every conceivable color and for example, depending on the coolant temperature can be illuminated.

Especially in compact enclosures can be used Tower cooler for space reasons mostly not. In the case of h100i GTX but only the flat radiator must sit directly on the CPU. The radiator can be installed in compliance with the hose length shall be free to a corresponding slot.

The mounting system of h100i GTX is suitable for the base in 1150, 1155, 1156, 1366, 2011 (-3), AM2 (+), AM3 (+) and FM1 and FM2 (+). The tool-free magnetic mounting brackets in modular design for easy installation. Pre- applied thermal paste to the cooler base.
