Conclusion

Ultimately an evolutionary upgrade, the H110i GT fills a gap in Corsair's product range and brings a few new tricks to the table...

Corsair has expanded its popular range of Hydro Series all-in-one liquid coolers with the launch of a new flagship, the H110i GT.

Priced at £100, this extreme CPU cooler borrows from its predecessors to deliver Corsair Link functionality in a 280mm package that touts high-end cooling allied to software monitoring and customisation.

Aimed squarely at enthusiasts, the new Hydro Series cooler will no doubt prove popular among the extreme overclocking crowd, yet while performance is impressive, pump noise remains an issue for anyone looking to put together a near-silent build.

Ultimately an evolutionary upgrade, the H110i GT fills a gap in Corsair's product range and brings a few new tricks to the table, including a refreshed aesthetic with removable radiator and pump caps. Keeping to the status quo, performance is admirable, installation is simple and by freeing up space around the CPU socket, end users and system integrators can plan customised rigs that are as lavish as the £100 price tag demands.

The Good		The Bad
High-end cooling performance Good customisation options Doesn't clutter the CPU socket Five-year warranty		Pump noise is still an issue More complicated than H110 Expensive at £100

i wish i have one :)

So here's the thing, I have a £20 Raijintek Themis cooler (with 2 Corsair SP120 fans in push/pull) on a 4690K overclocked to 4.6Ghz, it idles at 30c and never,ever goes above 65c in even the most stressful gaming session and in CPU stress tests such as the Asus Realbench and Aida64 the highest I've seen it go to is 74c.

So why would I need to spend £100 on one of these when my £20 budget cooler always keeps the CPU within its thermal limits?

Any comparison with, oh y'know, existing liquid coolers?
I know the Noctua is a good benchmark but what I needed to know is whether this is fundamentally “better” than the older H110 which I'm considering for my next upgrade
I'd rather avoid anything Corsair Link after putting my friend's H100i cooled PC together and us both quickly agreeing that it just didn't feel as useful as it should be compared to the ROG AI suite that we're used to

Are there any AOI cooler that don't have loud pumps?

I know right? Seems dumb not to compare them with other AOI liquid coolers. guru3d did a review which compares it with a few other AOI liquid coolers if you want to check their review out. They also say it's not as loud as what Hexus is reporting.

i was hoping to see this compared to H100i and if it has been improved or not.
