Corsair H105 Hydro Series All-In-One 240mm Water Cooler Review

news · March 29, 2014

Water cooling has rapidly become the #1 choice for high end

performance systems, be that custom loops that cost hundreds, even

thousands of pounds to create, or simple and easy to use all-in-one

units that just bolt right into your system. No matter which format

you choose, it is common knowledge these days that water cooling units

can beat air cooling into oblivion when it comes to improving system

temperatures, reducing noise and improving overall system

performance.Ã‚Â Having a good water cooler can allow for extreme

overclocking, or even just help keep your stock system running cooler

and quieter, while also helping improve the lifespan of components

such as your CPU. Put simply, water cooling is awesome.

Corsair have long been dominant in the all-in-one water cooling

market, their Hydro series is very successful thanks to its high end

performance, not too crazy price tags and clean and tidy overall

design, all of which have proved popular with system builders. Their

latest effort is the H105, a 240mm design that features room for four

fans (two included in the box), a sleek pump design and great

flexibility thanks to its extensive CPU support and ease of use.

Water cooling can be trick, but all-in-one units are no more

difficult to fit than a tower air cooler, just screw it to your CPU,

screw the fans and the radiator to the chassis, hook up the fans and

you're good to go. Can something so simple really be so great? With a

price tag of around Ã‚Â£90 / $110 / EUR 122, we certainly hope so.

The specifications are pretty straight forward, a 240mm radiator that

can hold two 120mm fans on each side, support for all major AMD and

Intel socket types of recent years and a promise of high end

performance, what's not to love about that! So let's get right to it

and see what else the H105 has to offer.
