Corsair H110i vs H115i vs H110i GT vs H110i GTX? What's the difference!?

[FoxxyRin]

They look close to the same, and are all new/newish 280mm radiator options. Am I missing some obvious difference between them? Or is Newegg's Corsair AIO page just derpy at the moment? They added a few models recently, and they seem a bit off... For example, they've listed an H110i that looks exactly like the H110i GT and an H115i that looks exactly like the H110i GTX? I feel like it might be a posting error or perhaps a new (less confusing) naming scheme, but I'm not sure. It doesn't right that Corsair has added four new 280mm coolers that are nearly identical. (H110i, H115i, H110i GT, and H110i GTX) The weird thing is, Corsair hasn't added these to their site from what I can tell. I'm really confused!

 

EDIT: It seems that Corsair is simply renaming things for 2016.

• H80i GT is now the H80i V2.
• H100i GTX  is now the H100i V2.
• H110i GT is now the H110i.
• H110i GTX is now the H115i.

Whether or not there are any actual differences in these new models, I'm not sure, but according to what information I've found, they are just new, renamed models.

the 1 in the front means it's dual fan

the 1 in the middle means it's 140mm fan

the 5 in the end means it has a thicker radiator

the i means it supports Corsair Link software

the GT and GTX means it's pretty

According to Newegg, they have the same thickness, though, which is why I was second-guessing their older naming scheme. And as for the GT/GTX, they all have nearly identical waterblocks and are listed to have RGB LEDs, which makes the whole GT/GTX thing seem unnecessary? Hence why I'm kind of thinking that maybe they've renamed the radiators to make them a bit less confusing.

idk... just roll with a kraken or nepton

I believe all expect the h110i are Asetek pumps, but I may be wrong

[Enderman]

h115i??

since when did that exist? wtf?

[Syntaxvgm]

h115i??

since when did that exist? wtf?

pretty recently I think

It appeared on Newegg at the beginning of the week. I've been doing a lot of digging around, and I'm pretty sure that H110i GT = H110i and H110i GTX = H115i under the new scheme. The H100i GTX is also now known as the H100i V2. Whether or not these include upgrades, I'm not sure. However, they're definitely 99% identical from what I can tell.

the H100i is VERY difference from the H100iGT and GTX...

 

the H100i is the old model released years ago

the H100i GT and GTX have the new CPU block with braided tubing, and the GT has tubing coming out the side while GTX has tubing coming out the top

 

also I think the GT ones are made by coolit while GTX is made by asetek

I said the H100i V2. It's on Newegg, and is simply the H100i GTX from what I can tell.

H100i GTX: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181090

 

ALL of the GT/GTX coolers seem to have new versions, so I'm really believing that this is just their attempt to make things less confusing, while making it more confusing until the older stock of the GT/GTXs sell out. Hence why all of those models have been ~$100 rather than $120+ for the past few weeks.

I actually bought the h115i (arriving in 2-3hours) , and I have a h110igtx which I am going to return next monday, lets see if there is any physical difference at all. More updates in a couple hours.

[Landerx74]

So Zune. Did you notice any difference between the 110i gtx and the 115i?

[Dapix]

looks like Corsair Hydro Series H115i Extreme Performance is the new H110i GTX

H115i looks like a rebrand of H110i GTX with newer firmware. Lot of the older models had issues with Corsair Link. Personally I would go with a copper radiator over Aluminum.

That's exactly what they are, we've just updated the SKUs. They are technically the same in terms of performance. The only thing that's worth mentioning is that the V2 models all have had their blocks slightly tweaked to ensure compatibility with Skylake Mini-ITX boards that may have components right next to the socket.

Hello Joseph, 

 

Would you be able to provide me simple comparison between all those models?

 

I am considering adding water cooling system on my rig, but I am not sure if I should put AIO unit or custom cooling one. 

[Corsair Joseph]

The previous models are almost identical to the new ones (V2) except for the new logo, basically cosmetics.

 

H100i GTX - http://www.corsair.com/en-us/hydro-series-h100i-gtx-extreme-performance-liquid-cpu-cooler 

H100i V2 - http://www.corsair.com/en-us/hydro-series-h100i-v2-extreme-performance-liquid-cpu-cooler

 

If you closely, you'll notice on the cooler's pump logo, they are different. Also, new models have better compatibility with m-ITX boards, especially the ones that have components around the socket. Other than those, V2 coolers are just new gen Corsair coolers with updated logo.

The v2 only uses the fan header and ditched the Sata power connector. It'll still have a splitter for its included fans but I believe this is SATA power change was an issue customers were having with the older model.
