Over the past couple of years or so, we gearheads have transitioned from membrane keyboards to mechanical ones; from mechanical hard drives to SSDs; and from air-cooling our CPUs to using closed liquid loops. All favorable moves, though the latter group...

From the Corsair website: Founded as Corsair Microsystems in 1994, Corsair originally developed Level 2 cache modules for OEMs. After Intel incorporated the L2 cache in the processor with the release of its Pentium Pro processor family, Corsair changed...

As we've alluded to, the H105 is very similar in terms of price, design and performance to other coolers in Corsair's range. In all honestly, most LGA1155 users probably don't need to spend this much on a cooling solution that will keep temperatures...

So the big question that has been on a great deal of peoples lips was could it beat the H100i performance wise? And the answer is yes. Even with lower fans speeds. This most surprising point is looking around its going to cost about £90 so in most...

The best coolingperformance is achieved by using the Corsair H100i, a watercoolingkit that can be controlled to the smallest of details by enthusiasts thanks to the included Corsair Link software. The NZXT Kraken X61 cools about the same - better when...

Water cooling has rapidly become the #1 choice for high end performance systems, be that custom loops that cost hundreds, even thousands of pounds to create, or simple and easy to use all-in-one units that just bolt right into your system. No matter...

Corsair new 120mm H75 and 240mm H105 all in one CPU water coolers are meant to breathe new life into their Hydro lineup. Will they be enough to stem the tide against Antec, Cooler Master, NZXT and...

It’s quite evident that H105 (just like the Hydro coolers before it) can achieve some of the best thermal performance results in both the liquid and air cooling arena. As we have demonstrated throughout our rigorous tests, at both stock and...

Remember the time when liquid cooling a computer chip was considered to be an extreme approach, one performed by hardcore enthusiasts and overclockers alone? Everything had to be personally designed and or procured by the user, as there were no...

The 240MM mounting LCS kits are very popular, and we do like the added radiator surface cooling area alright. As such Corsair has a nice offering with the new Hydro H105 liquid cooling kit. The overall performance is really fine, and combined with the...

We test and review the Corsair H105 liquid cooler. The H105 features a 240 mm radiator that is thicker then normal, with a 38 mm thickness. As comparison the H100 uses a 27mm tick radiator.... Read more...

Corsair has raised the bar for the 240 AIO units once more. It's fascinating how engineers keep on finding them small gains, time after time; Okay the cooling performance is still far away from a high end watercooling set! Nevertheless we are dealing...
