CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i PRO RGB Liquid CPU Cooler Review

Cooling/Water Cooling by stefan @ 2018-07-19

For enabling use in even smaller case form factors, CORSAIR has now prepared the H100i PRO RGB cooler, that shares most of the features from the 280mm radiator version. In more detail, we are talking about Asetek’s Gen6 pump design, that is more compact and was built to offer performance while keeping the sound levels to a minimum, low permeation with black sleeving tubing and the ML fans.

A Closer Look Part II

The supplied fans do not feature RGB lighting, but the usual grey blades, with a black frame. These take part of the ML series (magnetic levitation bearing and custom rotor design), which are meant to lower noise at higher RPM and offer a longer lifespan:

 

 

 

On the frame, we are shown with small arrows the direction of the airflow:

 

 

 

The back side of the fan does feature a sticker with the power rating (12V at 0.219A):

 

 

 

These feature PWM connectors and will be directly controlled by CORSAIR’s LINK system:

 

 

 

Moving on to the rest of the accessories, we will receive an Intel backplate (the bracket is preinstalled onto the pump), the AMD socket bracket, necessary tools for mounting both brackets, screws for mounting fans onto the radiator but also the necessary fixing screws for mounting the radiator onto the case. Finally, we do have an USB cable, for driving the LINK system:

 

 

 

As we have seen with the previously tested model, the new pump design has switched from Mini-USB to Micro-USB:

 

 

 

The main product is composed of the pump, low permeation with black sleeving tubing material but also the 240mm radiator:

 

 

 

Speaking of the radiator, it shares the design elements of the one seen along the H115i PRO RGB, only this time its dimensions are 276mm x 120mm x 27mm:

 

 

On the lateral we will be able to spot a nicely chromed CORSAIR logo:
