Based on our evaluation and testing here today, Corsair has done a great job on improving virtually every aspect of the original H50 that we took a look at over a year ago. Starting with the radiator, the unit has the same 120mm fan dimensions but is...
Corsair H70 failed to destroy the stereotype that compact liquid-cooling systems are not as efficient as super air-coolers. Again a cooling system like that proved to be less efficient than the best CPU air-cooler. To be fair we have to admit that the...

Looking at the results on the different test platforms, it's clear that the new hydro 70 gives quite a a good showing. The bigger radiator and extra fan have really helped to improve the aging Hydro 50's performance. The new mounting (compared to the ...
Overall then the H70 is a nice successor to the already good Hydro H50. The larger fin area coupled with two fans makes it one of the most powerful all in one-coolers on the markets today. The installation isn't the easiest we've experienced and defin...
With the H70, Corsair brings a liquid cooling system to market that strives to address the challenges of liquid cooling while still exemplifying its benefits. It relieves the user of the hassle of having to assemble individual components, which should ...

Our experience with the H70 had many high points, but there were a few minor issues that might turn off some enthusiasts. The first minor issue I noticed was the additional noise from the fans. We tried the fans with and without the voltage regulator...
The Corsair Hydro Series H70 High Performance CPU Cooler is a top performing all-in-one liquid cooling system. Improved features like the extra thick 120mm radiator with dual fans plus a new low-profile heat exchanger increase performance over the or...
