Without a doubt if you want the best all-in-one water-cooling kit, you have to look at the Corsair H100 model. For a long time kits like these have been slightly less competitive to the higher-end air-cooling solutions on the market. H100 has changed...

I've been using consumer-level, self-contained liquid CPU coolers for about four years now, and it seems Corsair has found a good balance between price, performance, and quality when they developed the H100. Dual radiators used to be reserved for...

We can’t deny that the H100 is an impressive cooling kit – it can cope with some of the hottest processors we’ve seen - even at its quiet low fan speed. It also costs a heck of a lot less than a custom water-cooling kit. Unfortunately,...

Water cooling rigs used to be only for the dedicated or foolhardy. Custom waterblocks, galvanic corrosion issues, sourcing coolants and quiet-enough kits, and that was before the big leak or dud pump. Today, the experience is much improved with closed...

Both the Corsair H80 and H100 offer significantly improved performance over Intel's liquid cooler and allow for stable overclocks at a higher frequency than the Intel product can reach. Between the H80 and the H100, we like the H100 more--provided...

time : Without a doubt Corsair has managed to firmly secure the top spot with it's Hydro 100 all in one cooling solution. The 240mm radiator seems to pay off, besting the Hydro 80 with a few degrees Celcius. Corsair included two fans, identical to...

Since the results in the end are very similar between the Antec 920 and the Corsair H100 you will have to just make up your mind on which to choose. The Corsair has a fan speed controller that I like, this I missed on the Antec. The 920 performed a...

The Corsair H100 was the best CPU cooler we’ve seen to date. With its 240 mm radiator, which is twice the size of the radiator seen in most sealed liquid cooling systems, it outperformed all the air coolers and liquid cooling solutions we tested...
