Corsair Hydro Series H110i 280mm Liquid Cooler Review

Cooling/Water Cooling by stefan @ 2017-04-10

Even when dealing with an overclocked octa-core Ryzen 7 1700 CPU at 3.9GHz, the Corsair Hydro Series H110i could handle its task with ease, so we have got a maximum of 50 degrees Celsius while running an instance of Prime95 in the Quiet Profile. The noise levels are also very acceptable in this state, since we have measured a maximum of 39.7 dBA, 30 cm away from the test system.

A Closer Look Part II

The Intel systems do get a backplate along with a top mounting mechanism, while the AMD systems do only receive the top component since the installation is more straight-forward with these (H110i does use the stock AMD mounts); we do also receive screws for installation and one USB cable for Corsair Link operation:

 

 

 

The cooling system is bundled with two SP140L PWM fans that are regulated by the Corsair software; these are designed for high static air pressure delivery with minimum turbulence and noise:

 

 

 

The fans are equipped with nine blades and employ a black/grey color scheme; a central circular Corsair logo can be also spotted here:

 

 

 

On the back side of the fan, we will get to see the product power rating (12V DC at 0.55A); the fans are designed to spin at a maximum speed of 2100RPM +/- 10%:

 

 

 

Obviously, the power cables end up with 4-pin PWM connectors:

 

 

 

Next, we are going to look upon the pump and radiator components of the system:

 

 

 

The radiator was designed with 280mm mounts, so we need to check if our computer case is equipped with those; the radiator comes with a length of 322mm and a width of 140mm:

 

 

 

 

On the side of the radiator, we will be able to spot a nice grey frame; its height is 27mm, but when we do add the fans the total height will be 52mm:
