Corsair H60 2013 edition review - Introduction

Introduction

Last week we checked out the all new H100i All-in One Liquid Cooler from Corsair which was released. Alongside that release Corsair really launched and upgraded several products from their Hydro series of Liquid System CPU cooler. For example the H80i was introduced as well. 

What little people know is that the H60 got upgraded as well, Corsair changed the fan, tubing, pump and cooling block and has reinserted this SKU as H60 ... Corsair really should have renamed it a bit as it's a different product really. So we shall name it, the Corsair H60 2013 edition.

The H60 is a single 120mm radiator/fan base cooling solution that quite honesty surprised us a bit in terms of cooling performance, as really .. it offers excellent perf for the money.

Once again Corsair offers a cooler series that is easy on the eyes and has a relatively tool free installation, the Corsair H60 is compatible with AMD Socket AM2, AM3, FM1 and FM2 (without needing to install a custom backplate) any modern AMD CPU. 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 without further ado, let's have a peek at the all updated Corsair H60 and then head onwards into the review where we'll put it to the test with a Core i7 3770K processor.
