Question 1

Will this work the on the AM2+ Phenom II x4 940?

Accepted Answer

I have no clue but if that is similar to the Fm2 or fm2+ it should work i know it also works with the AM3+
`according to the corsair  it should work though whether the one you will receive will work depends mine did but some fellow buyers as you can tell by the review did not

Question 2

Will this work with my AMD 8350 Processor (AM3+ socket)?

Accepted Answer

They always warn us (on refurbished items) that everything is not guaranteed to be included, but I've never been shorted. As far as working you'll be happy with your results as long as all of the brackets and mounting hardware is there ..... So yes, it works when all the things are there and you install it..... you'll love it.

Question 3

this says it will work with a am3 cpu socket but what i need to know is will it fit a am3+ socket is there really any difference? thanks in advance

Accepted Answer

No worries. It does work with AM3+. I'm guessing Corsair left out that information because the sockets and mounting hardware are the same. But I was confused initially myself. The H100 is a great cooler. The hydro series is well worth the money. I have purchased three refurbished units, one H60, and two H100's and they all came as new. They were in pristine condition as far as I could see. I took one of the H100's apart because I'm using it in a project to cool my GPU. In case anyone is interested, it appears they run a glycol  based coolant. Makes sense due to the mixed metals in the system. Hope this helps you Quintin K.

Question 4

Is this cooler compatible with an am3+ cpu?

Accepted Answer

I have this cooler running on my FX 6100 am3+ and overclocked to 4.6 ghz stable temp for my chip is between 99 to 103 f. over clock celing depends on the manufacturing plant as everyone knows. the cooler is very good. at stock speed on my chip it stays at 85 - 87 f. thanks for your question

Question 5

*_*_*What's the Molex for???

Accepted Answer

The pump and the fans will get  power to run from that Molex. There's a connection to the motherboard's cpu fan header too but that one is just for sending info to the motherboard about the temperature.

Question 6

will this rad fit in a cougar challenger mid tower case?

Accepted Answer

Yea I think it would since that case is 10 inches wide. I put mine in a dioletek case but it was only 8.25 inches wide. It barely fit so i had to modify the case.....but yes since its really wide it should fit fine.

Question 7

Will this be compatible with socket 1150 Haswell?

Accepted Answer

Apparently the 1155/1156/1150 all are the same for the fan. I am using one of these on my Haswell processor now.

Works real nice. My processor hasn't gotten warm at all. If I wanted to I could over clock it and feel confident. A lot of air moves though this and I haven't had an issue.

Question 8

do i need thermal paste when installing unit?

Accepted Answer

If you buy new, thermal compound is pre-applied. With a used one, you'll have to provide your own. In my experience, Corsair uses too much of the pre-applied stuff, and you may be better off wiping it off and applying your own.

Question 9

What are you're temps on idle and load?

Accepted Answer

I have 11 fans inside my case four of which are on a controller usually set to low speed and my normal idle temp is 74 degrees f and gets up to 85 when loaded. How ever my graphics are running off of a evga 680 ftw.

Question 10

QUESTION:
Is the airflow for this cooler set up to draw air from inside the case, through the radiator, through the fans, and out the top of a case with a top fan grill?

THE REASON I ASK: 
My current Corsair single 120mm Fan cooler specifically states to draw cool air in from outside the case and push it over the radiator fins into the case, and then have an exhaust fan push out the warm air.

This dual fan radiator style looks as if it were designed to fit on the inside top of a case with the top grills. On some retailers websites, there are even images of it mounted with the fans on the top case grill and the radiator below it, just above the pump. In that configuration, pulling cool outside air into the case, over the radiator, is fighting the "hot air rises" case-flow management.

Accepted Answer

I have had much experience experimenting with these setups - I currently run the H100 on my CPU and a H60 mounted to a GTX 470 - I have found the best cooling solution to be a "blow-through" setup that you mentioned in your first paragraph - I mount the fans blowing down on the outside, top of the case and the radiator inside, top of the case - The case top being sandwiched between the fans and radiator. I run the H60 the same except it is mounted on the case back with the fans blowing out the back. This has proved to be the best way to run these self-contained liquid cooling units.

Best Wishes!
