Corsair Hydro H60 Liquid CPU Cooler - Black

Product Information

First was that the the H60 uses clips that snap onto the cooling block and are nearly impossible to take off, and the Intel clips come pre-installed.

And this shouldn’t be a surprise, given that Thermaltake markets more coolers than any other manufacturer in the world, including some very fancy custom loop solutions. They eliminate unpleasant odours thanks to a highly absorbent material that provides excellent filtration. Intel, the Intel Logo, Intel Inside, Intel Core, and Core Inside are trademarks of Intel Corporation in the U.

At this point, its pump noise isn’t a handicap, as fan noise dominates, and the other liquid coolers have to turn up their pump RPMs too. The actual size and weight of the fuselage may vary due to manufacturing processes and measurement methods. They also mention that it is easy to install and has worked solidly for several hours a day for a year now, with no issues.

First, as illustrated in the manual, the fan is mounted on the inside face of the radiator, which would put it in a “pull” orientation if used as in intake and massively limit airflow. People who go with SLI/CF will either get 2*360 (or similar), 420+280 (one in the bottom/top, one in the front) or make it easier and mount a 1080/1260 either externally on a side panel or use an external stand. So I had to remove the Coolit fixing frame (and the glue that attached it to the motherboard), as well as cleaning the old paste off the CPU. We used different pieces of software for our testing, to stress the CPU we used Prime95 with the Blend Preset, 3DMark Time Spy's CPU Test and Aida64 CPU+FPU, which is an AVX based load, to push the coolers as far as we could! Death666Angel - Monday, November 7, 2011 - link Maybe if it is a high-end radiator or noise isn't that important.Back in 2017, we conducted three massive cooler shootouts (120mm air on Intel, 120mm air on AMD, and 240mm-280mm liquid on AMD), which provided us a great baseline to conduct one-off reviews going forward.

It is not a surprise that this unit uses an aluminium radiator and a copper cold-plate with an Ethylene Glycol based coolant to stop any sort of corrosion taking place, which is very common and almost all AIOs use this mixed metal and coolant setup. In this review we go back to basics with a 120mm LCS, we check out the new and updated (2018) model H60 - a single fan 120mm AIO Liquid cooler series. To summarize our fan speed results, the new revision does not require higher RPMs, and is thus no louder than the original H60. The cooler is equipped with a small water pump that circulates liquid coolant through the heat exchanger, which helps to dissipate heat from the CPU.

Yes, your CPU temps will drop, but you’ll cook the rest of your components, including your motherboard. The most noticeable change to the H60 is the move to much larger diameter rubber tubing to aid in efficiently transferring the heat from the CPU to the radiator. The new heat sync sits on top of the CPU neatly and the pack includes fastening straps for both AMD and Intel CPUs. The CPU temperature sat at 30 °C, which is fine, but do to pump noise, the sound level hovered around 30dB.

You can see that the Hydro H60 nearly matches the bigger MasterLiquid 240, yet comes in much quieter. For best results place the solar charger 45 degrees towards the sunlight to maximise the charging rate.

We will also repeat the test with the original H60 radiator installed onto the exhaust side of the fan to give us an idea of how each fan performs when installed onto a radiator.
