Good implementation of RGB lighting, Generous tubing length, Compatible with socket TR4
Average thermal performance, Very loud under load, Many cables to manage
Overall, the Corsair H100i RGB Platinum is an aesthetically pleasing and well built product. The implementation of RGB lighting on both the pump and fans looks great and the product has a real quality feel to it.In our previous review of the H100i RGB Pla...
this is a good allinone watercooler that offers great cooling performance and beautiful RGB lighting Corsair is also offering the same model with a 280mm radiator If there is plenty of space in your case and the price isn't an issue for you, we suggest t...
Super easy installation, Brilliant customizable RGB lighting backed up by great software, Great performance and temperatures even when overclocking
Not the quietest cooler tested, The CPU block cover could be a little more open, to improve illumination further
Overall, the Corsair H100i Platinum RGB is pretty astounding. Cooling performance is some of the best we've seen on our new test setup, and although not the quietest cooler tested, results are still pretty remarkable on this front with the H100i sitting i...
It's fair to say that given the minuscule to non-existent boost to cooling, the H100i RGB Platinum is essentially an H100i RGB Pro with fancy lighting and a larger cold plate to better cater for Threadripper CPUs. You'd be hard pressed to see any differen...

The lack of a supplied AMD backplate will catch many buyers out! In addition, the AMD installation has a bit of a ‘Frankenstein/reverse engineered’ feel about it, Neutral, None, Corsair H100i RGB Platinum AIO CPU Cooler Review,
PriceRetailing for a price of £124.99, this is without a doubt one of the best value coolers on the market in terms of price to performance. The test results alone clearly indicate that this cooler is capable of outperforming many of its competitors. A si...
The best RGB lighting implementation we've seen, Excellent performance, Easy and tool-free installation, Corsair's iCUE software, ThreadRipper socket support
Pricey, Released far too close to the previous generation
Starting off with the performance of the cooler, which is the most important aspect of any CPU heatsink regardless of how good it looks; the H100i Platinum RGB performs remarkably well, especially considering the modest 240mm radiator and the power hungry...
Totalling up the price reveals some interesting insights as to whether the Genome II is good value in terms of raw components. Its 360mm radaitor AIO coolers - the Captain 360 and Captain 360 EX retail for around £110 and decent PCI-E riser cables can cos...

Great performance, Equally impressive design, Backed by Corsairs 5yr warranty
The included SP120L fans are loud
Well, we have put another AIO cooler through it paces to find out if it is worthy or not of cooling your beloved CPU. While we had no doubt that the H100i GTX would be up to the task, we needed to see how well it would stack up against the others as there...
