It will come as no surprise to those who read our H80 and H110 series review that our H100i GTX experience starts with a solid radiator construction, high quality braided tubing and a stylish CPU block which feels well made. In terms of design, again pret...
The best coolingperformance is achieved by using the Corsair H100i, a watercoolingkit that can be controlled to the smallest of details by enthusiasts thanks to the included Corsair Link software. The NZXT Kraken X61 cools about the same - better when u...

£90 is a lot of money for a cooler
