If the tests with the Corsair H115i are done at 100% RPM then it's no wonder that it still shows as having better performance, since I own one and the stock fans, while good, are super loud above 1600 RPM and max is 2400. When I turn that on, I expect my rig to take off any second, that's how loud they are. Airflow is insane too, as I can feel the air blowing from a distance.
Anyway, nice review. While I know people had problems, I've had 3 generations of Corsair AIOs, each for 3+ years running OCed CPUs, never had an issue.

Huh? What on this earth makes you assume this is tested at 100% RPM ?

Didn't say it was, I was replying in regards to the poster above. I have both ML and SP 140mm fans, and if both are run at max RPM ,I think the SP (H115i stock fans) will perform slightly better (yet insanely louder) since it's 2000 vs 2400RPM.

thanks HH.
this is a strong unit. i never buy aio except 280mm, as it is the sweet spot as you pointed out.
the Corsair ML fans deserve the time you took and the explanation you made. they are really, really good and i'm a guy who's used scythe and noctua.
on my new 2950x build, i'm using a corsair crystal 280...which came with rgb (but "ll" series). i replaced the fans with ML (nonRGB), and added four more for my Black Ice 280mm radiators. i'm doing about 800-900rpm at near dead silence from seven fans (Threadripper VRM paranoia LOL).
they are amaze-balls.
Ya I'm using the Corsair ML's too, love them and can run at 1,000 rpm, with my setup and be quiet, the noise kicks up a little when pushed farther but it's not like a jet or anything you just can hear the air moving it's not really fan noise, anyhow love them cool fans.

Well in tests H115i and H110 are a bit better. But that's just 1 deg difference that could get down to thermal grease and ambient temperature.
