Corsair Hydro H110i GT CPU Cooler Review

Cooling/Water Cooling by leeghoofd @ 2015-02-10

Corsair is one of the leading brands in the All In One liquid cooling solutions market. By teaming up with Asetek and Cool IT they are able to use the latest technology and add to these provided cooling solutions their own little trademarks. Lately the AIO market is closing the gap on the Do it Yourself market performance wise. The generated noise to deliver the best cooling can still be somewhat over the top, though by introducing the 140mm fan versions a better performance versus noise ratio was achieved. Nevertheless in this market one can never rest on its laurels. Other brands alike Fractal Design and LEPA introduced some interesting products that gave similar specced Hydro products a decent run for their money. Though Corsair is back in 2015 with revamped versions of the H80i, H100i and H110. Today we test the flagship model the H110i GT. Later this month the samples of the H80i GT and the H100i GTX should become available.

Mounting System

One thing where the news H110i GT excels versus the previous 280 flagship, the H110, is the easy mounting system.

Just position the needed bracket, either being Intel or AMD, over the pump unit. No need for inserts nor plastic spacers to allow compatibility with the several Intel LGA sockets. No special clips or such required, a solid improvement over the previous Hydro generations.

LGA 1150 / 1155 & LGA 1156 installation:

Install the boxed Intel back plate, than screw in the four offsets.

Position the Pump unit and secure firmly via the four thumbscrews, it is as easy as that. Installation certified from 7 to 77 years of age :)

LGA 2011 / LGA 2011-V3:

No need to install any backplate, just screw in the four LGA2011 offset screws, position the pump unit and again secure the pump unit via the thumbscrews.

AMD AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/ FM1/FM2 & FM2+ :

The AMD installation is almost as straightforward as the Intel ones. Just use the standard AMD mounting brackets, position the AMD pump bracket over the H110i GT pump.

Mildly secure the bracket holders via the two thumbscrews, position the pump unit and than secure slowly but steadily.
