As you can see, there was a tiny install issue with the Corsair H80 because of the unique setup that I had built. I wanted to test the Corsair H80 on a LGA2011 processor and the X79 motherboard I have is Micro-ATX, so it doesn't really meet the...

We have concerns about using the Corsair H80 as an air intake unless you have at least one other fan acting as an exhaust. This is especially true if your CPU is heavily overclocked, but we can’t deny that the H80 is simple to install and use, can...

So, is Corsair H80 better than H100 or worse? In terms of cooling efficiency and at lower fan rotation speeds it is a little behind, but it offers much broader compatibility with the system cases. Besides, Corsair H80 is 20% cheaper than H100, and a...

The Corsair H80 is a great liquid cooling solution. It reached one of the best performances we saw on all air coolers and sealed watercoolers that we tested so far. It is also not too loud, maintaining the noise at an acceptable level even at full...
