Corsair is one of the few companies who have excelled at every component market they have entered. Right now, they are at the top of peripherals, cooling, memory, chassis and some other markets. Main reason behind their unstoppable success is the quality and the feature set offered. All these things come at a cost though; Corsair products usually come at a price premium.

Only a year or two back, Corsair entered the cooling market and now they’ve a large stack of all-in-one CPU water coolers ranging from $65 all the way up to $130. We’ve their $110 Hyrdro Series H80i cooler with us. It features a 120mm radiator with 38mm of thickness. This radiator is on the thicker side as compared to other offering by Corsair or other manufacturers. The H80i is basically an improved version of the H80. Both were launched at the same price point but the later one is discontinued now. Corsair simply took the old H80 and improved a few things to make the new H80i. To begin with, it comes with a better CPU block. Secondly, the tubing has also been improved. The old H80 had plastic tubing which had some tendency of kinking but the new H80i has thick rubber tubing which doesn’t kink that easily. And now it also comes with better fans. This time Corsair has bundled two of their SP120L high-performance fans which produce air flow of 77 CFM. The H80i also supports the Corsair Link; all you need to do is connect the Corsair Link cable to a USB header on your board and after downloading the Corsair Link Dashboard software, you can monitor coolant temperature and adjust cooling temperature for your desktop.
