The Corsair H100i v2 All-in-One (AIO) CPU cooler is a beautiful device for those wanting to go beyond the typical air cooler but not quite all the way to the custom watercooling components (i.e. pumps, reservoirs, blocks, hose, fittings, etc).

 

hYJbGDZ.jpg

 

Included in the kit is everything you would need to mount the AIO (240mm radiator, two SP120L PWM fans, and numerous accessories). This kit is compatible with any Intel LGA 1150, 1151, 1155, 1366, 2011 and 2011-3 and any AMD socket FM1, FM2, AM2 and AM3. The red and blue accessories in the photo are from the optional H100i/H100i v2 Color Kit.

 

oGjpg02.jpg

 

The radiator/pump/CPU block are absolutely stunning! The braided tubing really complements this set.

 

ojF7DaE.jpg

 

Here is a closer look at some of the mounting accessories included. The mounting bracket in the upper left goes on the back of the motherboard. The cable runs from the CPU block to a USB port on the motherboard. The lower ring is for AMD motherboards.

 

tT511QS.jpg

 

Here is what the mounting bracket looks like on the back of the Maximus IX Hero motherboard.

 

zBNxTep.jpg

 

The front side of the motherboard only shows the posts that the CPU block attaches to.

 

Tpipm2E.jpg

 

I tried to mount the H100i v2 to the top of the 570X case but the fans hit the top of the Vengeance full-size memory modules. It just does not fit, so I went with Plan B and mounted two HD120 PWM fans to the top mounting bracket.

 

ccoinjv.jpg

 

Here is a shot of these fans from the top.

 

OfJ5duc.jpg

 

With just these two fans mounted, you can see that there is not much additional clearance between the bottom of the fans and the top of the memory modules.

 

YYQ1H4a.jpg

 

The upper access holes above the motherboard tray allow the fan cables to be hidden easily.

Make a custom script and sync em all together :P

 

Or just try to click em all at the same time.

We are forgetting the rgb controller in the case for the rgb fans, as far as I know this hardware isn't connected to the motherboard and is not configurable with any software. Would really like to know a solution because the case is beautiful but I would just hate it if my (future) personal system would be out of sync.

The tedious but important task of sleeving the main wiring is complete!

 

The only really visible cables will be the 24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU, 8-pin and 6-pin PCI-E. In keeping with the color scheme, the colors are yellow and black. I also used black cable combs to keep them organized.

 

6So6WGP.jpg

 

Here is a shot of the entire cables. The pink paper is only to identify which end is for the PSU.

Didn't like the stock decal that comes on the rear of the Corsair HD120 fans.

 

jFweFh2.jpg

 

Played around with my Silhouette Cameo and came up with a better alternative. Black with a yellow Corsair logo. Every fan nows has this decal instead of that plain stock version.

looking great, did you do something similar on the fan itself?

I left the front of the fans in their original condition since the logo is clean and doesn't have any distracting information.

Working on getting the front fan assembly mounted this morning. It was definitely a tight fit and took some effort to get it in there!

 

exUirh9.jpg

 

Still haven't mounted the CPU block on the motherboard yet. Have some cushioning on the PSU cover to protect the paint while deciding the best placement for it.

 

You can see that I painted the radiator and CPU accents a yellow color to match the case and bring some color to those items.

All of my previous builds had custom water cooling setups. I wanted this build to contain mostly off-the-shelf equipment that anyone can do without the large expense of custom water cooling components (i.e. pump, reservoir, water blocks, tubing, fittings).

 

Mainly to show that even stock setups can look amazing with some planning and paint.

Except I have 4 sticks (I was dumb and thought skylake had quad channel) and Ripjaws 4 at a different frequency.

 

Though same company and same total capacity, so I guess that warrants half a point :P

Alright, finally got the AIO CPU block installed. Fairly difficult to get the tubing to lay where I want it. Would rather have had it flipped over, but the tubing just would not cooperate. The black wires from the rear fan and the AIO still need to be groomed.

 

mFzrH3p.jpg

 

Overview of case as it stands now.

 

0HmubUA.jpg

 

Now that the AIO is mounted, time to start getting the SSD drives ready. Here are the two Corsair Neutron Series XT drives (480GB each). 


nBJ5LHC.jpg

 

Nice drives but that red color scheme will have to go.

 

Q6YnNwA.jpg

 

The decals removed easily enough and now that red really stands out!

 

w7KzttU.jpg

 

Removed the top covers (yep, voided that warranty) and now you can see what lies within these units.

 

ku7UMYP.jpg

 

The covers are now getting a white primer coat and sun yellow coat. More updates when they are ready.

 

Also received the 2TB Western Digital Black drive. Trying to decide what to do with it.

The SSD covers are dry and look pretty good in just the plain Sun Yellow color.

Created some decals with the Silhouette Cameo to match the theme of the case, 'Glorious PCMR'. The black vinyl looks good on the yellow cases.

Mounted on the case and ready for use!

With the ASUS Maximus IX Hero motherboard having only a single USB 2.0 connection, I had to get a USB hub to expand that to 3 USB 2.0 ports. This device is made by NZXT.

The package contains the USB Hub and the appropriate cables for connection to the motherboard.

For lighting, this build will utilize the Corsair Lighting Node Pro.

Nice!  Is this your first time using it?   I'm looking into buying one as well as a kit of hd 120mm fans from corsair to light up my case (got the same case, but not painted. Wanted to paint in white, but wasn't feeling confident enough)

 

what are your though about this lighting controller?

Nice!  Is this your first time using it?   I'm looking into buying one as well as a kit of hd 120mm fans from corsair to light up my case (got the same case, but not painted. Wanted to paint in white, but wasn't feeling confident enough)

 

what are your though about this lighting controller?

This will be my first time with this type of lighting controller. Will post more information as I get it installed.
