The most surprising aspect of this test is how well the Fractal Design Kelvin S360 AIO does against the H110 GT which I believe *was* the king of All in one cpu coolers. While 79*c is well within the TJmax for this CPU, safe operating temperatures for most modern Intel processors is 70*c. What’s almost instantly clear is the H80i cannot handle the heat output of Intel’s 6700K when overclocked. The end result? lower power usage under normal conditions. Power Supply: Seasonic P-Series 1000W Fully ModularĪll of the closed-loop AIO coolers tested produced similar idle temperatures simply because of Speed step which dynamically reduces the processor’s VCORE and multiplier depending on load.GPU: EVGA 980Ti 6GB Superclocked ACX2.0+.Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170x Gaming 7 Motherboard.Upon installation, 3 rounds of Intel XTU was run to get heat into the loop followed by 15 minutes at idle.Īfter 15 minutes at idle, a timed OCCT loop was run for 15 minutes to get things hot at which point load temperatures were recorded. So I could make sure that all results were accurate, I made sure that the ambient room temperature was stable at 25*c using air conditioning and a thermal sensor attached to my other rig. Let’s take a look at the test bed and performance testing. It used to be a great unit for older generations but over the years has started to lag behind in the overclocking department.

The baby of the bunch, The Corsair Hydro series H80i comes equipped with an Aluminum 120mm radiator that is slightly thicker than the other two. Corsair H80i AIO Liquid CPU Cooler Corsair H80i AIO Liquid CPU Cooler

As a result the H110 GT is the reigning champion providing ample cooling performance for the longest gaming session and will deal with mild to extreme overclocks well in short-runs just fine. It’s well-known in the community that if you really must have an AIO cooler then the H100 GTX or the H110 GT is the way to go. The H110 GT is Corsair’s flagship liquid cooler coming equipped with an Aluminum 280mm radiator fitted with two Corsair SP-120 fans in a push configuration, all-copper cold plate and of course, Corsair Link compatibility. What sweetens the deal is the 1/4″ threads allowing you to simply take it apart and throw some non-standard blocks on as well as the all-copper constructed radiator – it’s the only one in our comparison that has one and it shows.Ĭorsair H110 GT AIO Liquid CPU Cooler Corsair H110 GT AIO Liquid CPU Cooler What really sets this AIO CPU cooler apart from the others here is simply how quiet it is when under normal usage being near inaudible. The Kelvin S36 cooling unit support all modern CPU sockets and is also the biggest of the 3 coming with a full-copper constructed 360mm radiator, 2400RPM long-life ceramic bearing pump and 3 x 500 – 2000RPM GP-12 PWM fans.
