00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:30,039
today we're going to be having a look at the h90 and the h110 from Corsair these

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:31,480
are their new 140 mm radiator coolers so

8
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:38,120
I'm going to take the h90 and I'm going to compare it really quickly here to the

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:40,879
h80i so while the h80i uses Corsair link

10
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:45,000
and has Flagship features like 38 in tubes as well as their new magnetic

11
00:00:43,039 --> 00:00:49,320
mounting clips so you can see the actual blocks themselves there are quite

12
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:54,640
different the h90 has the advantage of using a very dense fin Arrangement and a

13
00:00:51,879 --> 00:00:58,399
larger surface are area radiator the H AI is also a little bit thicker that

14
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:03,399
gives it an advantage in performance versus other 120 mm products that are

15
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:06,040
thinner so the h90 has a lot of surface

16
00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:10,600
area compared to the h8i the h110 similarly has much larger surface area

17
00:01:08,439 --> 00:01:14,640
than the h100 so we wanted to look at how this translates to Performance now

18
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:21,079
this is something that's really important for these coolers because the h90 and the h110 come with fans that

19
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:26,920
aren't really anything special in terms of their radiator optimization whereas

20
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:29,479
the h8i and the h100i come with Corsair

21
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:36,000
well a derivative of Corsair's SP series static pressure optimized fans so these

22
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:39,280
the the the the larger radiator versions are going to get a bit of an advantage

23
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:44,119
in our testing compared to what you might see from other guys because we run

24
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:47,680
a test bench that uses standardized fans so we actually don't use the fans that

25
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:52,439
are included with any coolers because we want to find out how the performance of

26
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:58,159
the coolers themselves compares to each other so we only use NF F12 pwm fans and

27
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:06,280
I think what are they nf14 flx fans so that's a 120 mm and 140

28
00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:08,720
mm pressure optimized fan design from

29
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:14,400
Noctua these are quiet fans we run the 120 Ms and the 140 Ms at around 1,000

30
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:19,239
RPM so it's a very quiet solution so in a system that I would consider to be

31
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:23,400
quiet enough for a high performance gaming system these days because there's

32
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:28,239
no reason for them to be loud this is how these coolers will perform we have a

33
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:31,720
3930k that's overclocked and overvolted so we're able to deliver a lot of heat

34
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:38,239
to these coolers so you can really separate the performance from each other

35
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:40,480
um in this case we also run a 580

36
00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:44,360
graphics card so it's a GTX 580 and we run combuster during our load test to

37
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:48,440
simulate what it would be like if the cooler had to work inside a case that's

38
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:52,080
actually full of hot components as well so it doesn't necessarily just you know

39
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,760
work on an open test bench and get to suck fresh cool air through it no this

40
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,920
is how it will actually perform in a system that also has other components

41
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:03,360
that are generating heat we close up both side panels during our testing and

42
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:07,519
we let the coolers reach equilibrium before we take any of our measurements

43
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:12,959
and we measure the ambient temperatures at the intake of the case here using an

44
00:03:09,879 --> 00:03:15,000
HH 506 ra multil logger thermometer that

45
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:19,280
allows us to make sure that whatever results we deliver you once we correct

46
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:23,400
them to 20° are going to be easily comparable from one cooler to another

47
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:27,280
because we're able to we can't control the ambients in here but what we can do

48
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:32,519
is we can monitor them monitor them and then correct for that so I think that

49
00:03:29,159 --> 00:03:36,280
pretty much wraps it up in terms of the

50
00:03:32,519 --> 00:03:37,799
uh the prologue to this so oh yeah so we

51
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:42,200
have the h110 in there if you guys wanted to see it this is a Corsair C70

52
00:03:39,799 --> 00:03:45,680
so the h110 is I guess I'll spoil the surprise a little bit the highest

53
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:49,680
performing CPU Cooler that we've tested it's absolutely enormous and fills up

54
00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:54,560
the entire top of this case so in spite of its quarter inch tubing and less

55
00:03:51,920 --> 00:04:01,040
Advanced design compared to the H uh h100i come check out the performance so

56
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:03,280
load corrected to 20° C for the h110 in

57
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:07,599
a pole configuration is only 66° now we have a bit of an anomaly in

58
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:11,519
our data and that's that the Kraken x60 doesn't perform as well as the h110 in

59
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:16,239
spite of the fact that we're using the same fans but there might be an issue

60
00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:20,759
with our Kraken x60 either way the h110 performed exactly the way that we'd

61
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,520
expect so the h90 actually puts up a

62
00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:28,600
pretty good showing as well performing only about four degrees worse than the

63
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:31,840
h100i and then the yeah the h110 just kind of runs away with it it beats the

64
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:36,800
h100i by about 5° um so this is on a six core processor

65
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,880
so guys what you can do is you can download this chart you can actually

66
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:44,440
click the link below the video description if you want to check it out at your leisure and we're going to keep

67
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,680
updating it we're going to keep adding uh any notes that we have on our testing

68
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:51,280
methodology any notes we have on the coolers and any future coolers that we

69
00:04:49,479 --> 00:04:55,759
test are all going to be on this master chart this is our test bench for the

70
00:04:53,919 --> 00:04:59,440
foreseeable future so you guys will always know what to expect when you get

71
00:04:57,479 --> 00:05:02,400
a cooler and especially if you're going to upgrade to your own pressure

72
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:08,080
optimized fans I hope you guys have enjoyed this video I don't have anything to hold and point at ah yes about the

73
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,919
