Corsair Hydro Series H100

Zitat: Lieferumfang: Der Lieferumfang war eigentlich zufriedenstellend. Es war alles dabei, was man für einen sofortigen Einsatz braucht, inklusive aufgetragener Wärmeleitpaste. Etwas störend sind die irreführenden Anschlüsse am Kühler. Jeder Kunde glaubt vor dem Kauf, dass er automatisch die Möglichkeit hat, die Lüfter über den Kühler zu steuern. Also bitte genauer erklären oder alternativ ein Paket mit dem Corsair Link Digital anbieten.

Zitat: Von der Kühlleistung her kann jeder Kunde individuell seine Lüfter betreiben. Je nach Takt und Spannung wird diese unterschiedlich ausfallen. Vom Kühler her wird es keine Limitierung geben. Aktuelle Core i5 2500K und i7 2600K können locker mit 1.4V betrieben werden, schlagen dabei jede Luftkühlung. Ohne Leistung gibt es keine Kühlung, das ist indiskutabel. Welche Lüfter man in einer Preisklasse von 90,- Euro bieten kann, sollte klar auf der Hand liegen. Wer von der Lautstärke her nicht zufrieden ist, findet am Markt genug alternative Lösungen. Bis zur mittleren Stufe sind die Corsair Lüfter in Ordnung. ab 1500 wird's laut. Platzsparender und hochwertiger Kühler!

Zitat: Pros: + Excellent performer during testing + 240mm dual radiator configuration + Five-year warranty + Universal CPU support Cons: - Pricey compared to other self-contained CPU coolers I´ve been using consumer-level, self-contained liquid CPU coolers for about four years now, and it seems Corsair has found a good balance between price, performance, and quality when they developed the H100. Dual radiators used to be reserved for custom watercooling systems, but Corsair busted the barn doors off their hinges when they released the H100 to the masses. The $120 price point seems a bit expensive when compared to other air-cooled heatsinks or self-contained CPU coolers in its class, but the extreme performance results should help enthusiasts get on board in purchasing the H100 for their next upgrade. PC Perspective gives the Corsair H100 our gold award for exceptional performance, quality construction, and five-year warranty.

Zitat: We can’t deny that the H100 is an impressive cooling kit – it can cope with some of the hottest processors we’ve seen - even at its quiet low fan speed. It also costs a heck of a lot less than a custom water-cooling kit. Unfortunately, it’s a difficult piece of kit to recommend unequivocally, as not everyone will have the requisite pair of 120mm fan mounts in their case. A further problem for the H100 is the presence of the cheaper but equally competent Antec Kühler H20 920, which can be mounted more easily. The latter also includes Antec’s excellent fan control software as standard. While Corsair’s Link kit will offer similar features, it costs extra, giving the Kühler H20 920 a further advantage in the value stakes when it comes to LGA1155 systems. Corsair’s H80 is also a better bet if you’re an AMD enthusiast but the H100 offers peerless cooling on LGA2011. At only £13 more than the H80, it’s fairly priced too. If your case has room for the dual 120mm-fan mount for the radiator, nothing should prevent you from buying the H100 for an overclocked Sandy Bridge E system.
