Abstract: IntroductionThere isn't much left to say about all-in-one (AIO) liquid CPU coolers these days, other than they are often better performing and more expensive than traditional air coolers. A good design gives an AIO liquid cooler a distinct advantage with ...
Much like the H110i GT this H100i GTX is showing more muscle compared to its predecessor, it does show excellent performance in terms of cooling - especially in overclocked conditions. As you have been able to notice from the results, we started using a ...

New pump design is difficult to handle during installation
If I had to say anything bad about this cooler it would be in regard to the functionality of the new pump design. While I am pleased with the way the pump looks, I found that the lack of swivel fittings on the side of the pump combined with the large tubi...

Corsair's H100i GTX (Model # CW-9060021-WW) most certainly doesn't look like its older sibling, but that is far from a bad thing as this cooler looks significantly better. Corsair updated the aesthetics of the GTX, gave us a slightly thicker radiator, and...

With the completion of the H100i GTX review we've now concluded our reviews of the new additions to the Corsair AIO cooler family. With its rounded end tanks and absent 90 degree rotation elbows at the cold plate, the 240mm radiator based H100i GTX share...
