Corsair H70 – Water Cooling for the Masses?

@ 2010/10/20
Corsair made a huge splash in the enthusiast community with the introduction of the H50 all in one water cooling solution. Dozens of review around the web confirmed it had the performance to challenge the top air cooling systems on the market, and the price was also competitive. But many enthusiasts (myself included) turned our noses up at the H50. What's the point of a water cooling solution that doesn't undercut the price or outperform the air coolers on the market? The problem as I saw it was that Corsair was targeting a market saturated with excellent alternatives. Was it good, yes…it just wasn't the best. Luckily for me and many other enthusiasts, Corsair was listening to the criticism, and they also seem to have identified what I mentioned earlier, the price gap. Why not make something that does top all of the air cooling solutions, for a small price premium? Hence, the Corsair H70 was born! This was built to dominate all air coolers on the market without becoming excessively expensive. Did they succeed in their apparent goals?
