Corsair H110i is here (finally)

I read a couples of reviews. All say the H110i GT is very quiet. Maybe your ears are special, or all the reviewers are liars.

It might be quiet in comparison to other 280mm AIOs but it's not possible for something like that to be very quiet at all.. If it's anything like the H110 it's going to be loud.

Well, quiet and loud can be subjective and relative.

Quite so, to me the H110i GT is very loud at Quiet and Default. I shudder to think what the 110 would sound like then.

 

My other complaint was how hard it was to fit in the NZXT H440, as the only possible way was with the fans up top. The radiator is too long to fit up top if with the fans at the bottom.

So with the fans up top, it can be more annoying as one they spin up ( performance mode or system start up ), the vibrations of the fans rattle against the chassis. It's very distressing. Even bending the metal part in question, or adding a washer doesn't help.

 

The radiator is a good 1cm too long to fit easily into the H440's 240m radiator bracket it seems.

Maybe I've just been spoiled by workstations like the 2013 Mac Pro. Only when those were at 100% for over 2 hours could I hear them.

That's strange. In my experience when under max load PCs reach an equilibrium within 5 minutes.

After 2 more hours they shouldn't be any hotter or louder. It should have leveled out far earlier... Wierd that the Mac Pro gets continiously louder.

I think more than that when it comes to AIOs some people are unlucky and get noisy pumps.

That's essentially when it peaks and stays loud. On normal workloads, it's barely audible.

Why are people obsessed with the corsair AIO's? 

 

 

They're literally nothing special at all in a market this crowded as the source states.... ok so you get corsair link that's pretty cool. But nothing stands out for me that a different brand/model doesn't already have.

It's definitely not quiet at full speed, if reviewers actually said that then something is off. The fans are 2100+ RPM 140mm fans. What do you expect they would be? I have a review in the member reviews section in case people are interested.

Probably very noisy at high speed.

 

But I think the reason people are interested in 280mm AIO RADs is that they can keep the fans spinning slow and still have enough cooling.

Yup. These fans go down all the way to 520 RPM or so too. Given the nature of CPUs where the biggest bottleneck to cooling is the heat transfer from die to IHS, I didn't notice much difference between the fans at 50% and fans at 100% temps wise but a significant difference in noise levels.

For those wanting to put this in the NZXT H440's; be warned. It'll only fit if the fans are up top, the radiator is a tad too long to fit in the 280m area for rads.

So you need to have the fans up top, lowering the radiator and allowing it to fit.

I love how nobody buys my cryorig r1 in the classifieds, even when it actually is better than things like the NH-D15 & h100i lol :(

I'd buy it, but it would be complete overkill for my Xeon...

It has a 6 year warranty & so do the fans, so if you ever upgrade it'd still be useful :)

Ugh I think Cryorig is such an under rated company. I contacted them to see if they had interest in getting the R1 reviewed/tested but never heard back. Shame though- I think it is one of the best looking air coolers out there and seems the performance back its up.

It's really good, I just don't like having it in my case because a crap ton of hot air gets stuck under it since I have SLI cards, and it raises my CPU temps by like 10-15 degrees once I game for like ~1 + hour.

 

My h220 is junk though, the backplate showed up bent, I contacted swiftech and got a new kit and one of the screws just broke while I was tightening it like the instructions said. So now I have 3/4 screws in it.  

 

Idk what to do now lol :/
