Corsair H100i V2 240mm AIO CPU Cooler Review

Introduction

Corsair is one of the most loved brands on the market today, with a huge range of award-winning products, such as their power supplies, peripherals, chassis and more. Of course, today it is their range of ever-popular CPU water coolers that we’re interested in today, as we take a look at their newly refreshed H100i V2 240mm AIO cooler.

“The Hydro Series H100i v2 is an extreme performance, all-in-one liquid CPU cooler for cases with 240mm radiator mounts. The 240mm radiator and dual SP120L PWM fans provide the excellent heat dissipation you need for highly overclocked CPUs. Corsair Link is built in, so you can monitor temperatures, adjust cooling performance and customize LED lighting directly from your desktop.” – Corsair

Equipped with a 240mm radiator, two powerful Corsair 120mm fans, and a pump that support almost every major socket from Intel and AMD of recent years, the H100i V2 is sounding like a good cooler on paper, so let’s take a closer look at what is on offer.

The box is very nicely designed, with a clear image of the cooler on the front, as well as detailing all the usual spec.

Around the back, more detailed spec for the fans and pump, as well as some images of the various components.

In the box, you’ll find a universal backplate, AMD retention bracket (an Intel one is pre-installed on the pump), all the usual nuts and bolts, as well as the Corsair Link cable.

The included fans are Corsair 120mm 12V Brushless models, we’ve used many of these over the years and they’ve always proven to be a nice balance of cooling and acoustic performance, and they’re nice and durable too.
