CORSAIR Hydro Series H60 (CW-9060007-WW) Water Cooler CORSAIR Hydro Series H60 (CW-9060007-WW) Water Cooler

Pros: 1) Keeps CPU on idle at about 18C to 28C
2) Quiet at most times even under heavy load.
3) No need to refill or change/worry about the liquid
4) Great price

Cons: 1) The tubes block my first RAM slot, so I have to use 2, 3, and 4.
2) Screws were hard to thread through the fan and radiator.
3) The threads on one of the holes in the radiator broke, so I couldn't tighten the screw all the way, but it is still firmly in place
4) Can be loud at random points. Still pretty quiet though. It really depends on the case.

Other Thoughts: While this LCS was a little hard to install, it performs great. It runs quieter than any stock cooler you'll ever get and keeps your CPU cold. I haven't done any overclocking yet, but plan to in the future. The radiator is really big and I had a bit of trouble fitting it into my mid-tower. This is my first Liquid Cooler, and I'm VERY impressed. Would buy a newer model anytime!

Pros: Fantastic temperatures. Easy to follow instructions. Great price. Quiet.

Cons: Radiator is a bit elongated compared to other I've installed in systems.

Other Thoughts: The following said is not a problem with Corsair! They did a fantastic job.

Look at the case you're installing this for. My friends case had a 120MM fan that was mounted in a special bracket which was not compatible with the liquid cooling radiator. I had to cut some metal out here and there to get it to fit. Just reminding people to see if there case is compatible.

Pros: Easy to install and keeps the CPU temp stable.

Cons: Somewhat loud. These types of LQs come with internal radiators that screw into large case fans (included). Those case fans aren't exactly stealthy, but they're not uproariously loud either.

Other Thoughts: I have a fanless LQ in my micro atx htpc, and you can hear the pump clicking. I thought that was kind of funny: big fan or fanless with constantly clicking pump. Neither are game breaking. Of the two, the click probably took more getting used to, but that could be the environment -- a fan on a gaming rig isn't a distraction the way any kind of noise is on an htpc.

Pros: keeps CPU cool even when overclocked! Looks freakn sick

Cons: kind of in the way of one of the PCI ports. Might be fine with different MB

Pros: - cools like a charm
- fan is quiet
-corsair
-pretty much everything about it

Cons: - the radiator is a bit big for a mid tower but i made it fit somehow.

Other Thoughts: The only issue i had was the radiator wouldnt fit without moviing it around but thats okay it still works they want it too :D

Pros: -Liquid
-Don't have to change it.
-Looks sleek
-Easy to install
-Corsair

Cons: -The tubes interfere with my first ram track, meaning I can't use the first slot.

-The tubes aren't quite flexible enough to manipulate away from the ram area.

-I tried to put RAM in the first slot but the tube just kinda forced the ram diagonally and could possibly damage it. I didn't want to force the ram into place, so instead i am just using #2 and #4. No biggie.



Just don't expect to be able to use all 4 ram slots using this mobo.
- GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX

Other Thoughts: -I haven't quite finished my build yet so I will come back and report temperatures when I do finish it.

I am expecting good results, this thing seems pretty legit. I have left my computer on for a few hours (just to make myself feel like i've accomplished something, i'm only missing gpu) and felt slight warmth in one tube after a couple of hours. That's about all I can tell right now.

Pros: Sleek Slim Form Factor. Great Quality Construction. Paid 54.99 with rebates and on sale. If your using a stock fan and heat sink, get this. Looks great in my case.

Cons: was alittle pain to install in my 600T case. im using AMD 8320 and securing the bracket was alittle hard at first. did that then installed the fan to the radiator. you might not wanna use the washers. i had a hard time mounting the screws to the fan and rad. but now that it's all in.. it looks great.

Other Thoughts: I just installed this and i acutally had a Corsair A50 heatsink with a 120mm fan on top and between the H60 and A50 im not really seeing a difference in temp drops. If you have a STOCK fan and heatsink buy this. it will make a difference. If you already upgraded to an AIR Cooling Solution, no need to jump over to this. unless you go for the h100i or swiftech h220/custom. kind of cool hearing the liquid coolet starting up for the first time.

Pros: Super easy to install
never needs maintenance
Corsair warranty against leakage

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I used the H-60 for 2 months , then I bought EKWB water blocks for my GPUs (GPU : 2X EVGA Geforce GTX 660 SC SLI) so I decided to add a water block for my CPU as well. I thought the temps would be lower with the EK-Supremacy CPU water block but was surprised that there was no change in temps from the Corsair water cooler. 35 degrees C idle and never over 50 degrees C under full load.
I spent over 600.00 for EK GPU and CPU water blocks and accessories , so I would recommend the H-60 for less than 100.00 if all you need to cool is your CPU. .
This corsair water cooler really works well !

Pros: * Much quieter than stock fans so far
* CPU base temperature is 15-20 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than before

Cons: * The computer no longer turns the fans on high every 5 minutes.

Other Thoughts: I did swap out my case at the same time that this cooler was installed, so having more air holes might have contributed to the temperature drop. The power supply and hard drives are definitely thanking me for the new case.

Pros: Simple sealed system. Fantastic cooling. Much quieter, cheaper and takes up less space compared to air cooled alternatives.

Cons: Radiator height (rad extends at least 1/2 inch above and below fan). They give you the rad and fan dimensions, so center the rad dimensions on the fan to see if there will be interference (I had NOT! I have a top mount PSU which I had to "readjust" upward about 1/4 inch in order to install). Most bottom mount PSU's should be fine. "Measure twice, cut once."

Other Thoughts: Just installed an AMD Phenom 965BE. Stock heat-sink & fan only allowed stock CPU settings (3.4G). OC'd to a very stable 4.2G with this cooler. Ordered a replacement (identical) fan from Corsair so I could set up a synced, push/pull exhaust arrangement. Original fan failed. Replacement fan worked. Contacted Corsair and they sent another replacement fan free of charge! Use an Akasa (AK-CB002) PWM splitter to control push/pull fans as well as a top fresh air feed fan. All fans controlled and synced by CPU load in BIOS. CPU idles at 35C and has never been higher than 52C under max load!
