Abstract: Today we are looking at the Corsair Hydro Series H80 CPU cooler. Most users in the server/ workstation market look at air cooling for their CPUs and for good reason. Those that can use Intel's LGA 1155 CPUs (either Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge versions of a...
As you can see, there was a tiny install issue with the Corsair H80 because of the unique setup that I had built. I wanted to test the Corsair H80 on a LGA2011 processor and the X79 motherboard I have is Micro-ATX, so it doesn't really meet the traditio...

Abstract: The entire H80 systemThe Corsair H80 is an all-in-one water cooling solution for the CPU, boasting high efficiency cooling at an extremely reasonable price (under $100 at most retailers) for a water cooling setup. When it all comes down to it, the va...
So, is Corsair H80 better than H100 or worse? In terms of cooling efficiency and at lower fan rotation speeds it is a little behind, but it offers much broader compatibility with the system cases. Besides, Corsair H80 is 20% cheaper than H100, and a d...
