Benchmarks: Core i7-3770K at 4.4GHz
Here's where things get interesting. With our Core i7-3770K chip overclocked and over-volted, extra heat is generated and the coolers are working harder to keep the system stable. This is the test that separates the great from the good, and Corsair's Hydro Series H100i - configured using the built-in Performance profile - storms to the top of the chart. It's not only the best-performing liquid cooler we've tested, it also manages to get ahead of today's meatiest air coolers.
