Corsair H110 review - Introduction

Introduction

We recently reviewed the Corsair H100i and H60 liquid coolers. But wait, there's more! Slowly but steadily the new 140 and 280mm liquid cooling kits are getting more popular often offering less noise yet more performance. Today we review the Corsair H110. The Hydro Series H110 is Corsairs first 280mm Liquid Cooling solution that should be able to dissipate some impressive heat from your processor. With cool looks and very silent operation we can see this product ending up in a lot of PC builds alright. 

Compared to the last generation of Hydro products Corsair changed the fan, tubing, pump and cooling blocks sizes. The H110 is a dual 140mm fan based liquid cooling solution that surprised us positively in terms of cooling performance, as really it offers excellent perf for the money whilst remaining very silent. 

The Corsair Hydro H110 series that is easy on the eyes and has a relatively tool free installation, the product  is compatible with AMD Socket AM2, AM3, FM1 and FM2 any modern AMD CPU really. All current Intel socket formats are covered too, so whether you have a LGA1155, LGA1156, LGA1366 or LGA2011 motherboard this product will fit / can be used.

So let's have a peek at the Corsair H110 and then head onwards into the review where we'll put it to the test with a Core i7 3770K processor, which we'll overclock to see how well this cooling solution can absorb and exhaust heat.

We feel that the H110 is just a great product in combo with the hot Ivy Bridge processors.
