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

00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:31.480
are their new 140 mm radiator coolers so

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

00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:40.879
h80i so while the h80i uses Corsair link

00:00:38.120 --> 00:00:45.000
and has Flagship features like 38 in tubes as well as their new magnetic

00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:49.320
mounting clips so you can see the actual blocks themselves there are quite

00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:54.640
different the h90 has the advantage of using a very dense fin Arrangement and a

00:00:51.879 --> 00:00:58.399
larger surface are area radiator the H AI is also a little bit thicker that

00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:03.399
gives it an advantage in performance versus other 120 mm products that are

00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:06.040
thinner so the h90 has a lot of surface

00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:10.600
area compared to the h8i the h110 similarly has much larger surface area

00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:14.640
than the h100 so we wanted to look at how this translates to Performance now

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

00:01:19.240 --> 00:01:26.920
aren't really anything special in terms of their radiator optimization whereas

00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:29.479
the h8i and the h100i come with Corsair

00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:36.000
well a derivative of Corsair's SP series static pressure optimized fans so these

00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:39.280
the the the the larger radiator versions are going to get a bit of an advantage

00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:44.119
in our testing compared to what you might see from other guys because we run

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:47.680
a test bench that uses standardized fans so we actually don't use the fans that

00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:52.439
are included with any coolers because we want to find out how the performance of

00:01:49.960 --> 00:01:58.159
the coolers themselves compares to each other so we only use NF F12 pwm fans and

00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:06.280
I think what are they nf14 flx fans so that's a 120 mm and 140

00:02:02.479 --> 00:02:08.720
mm pressure optimized fan design from

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

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

00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:23.400
quiet enough for a high performance gaming system these days because there's

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

00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:31.720
3930k that's overclocked and overvolted so we're able to deliver a lot of heat

00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:38.239
to these coolers so you can really separate the performance from each other

00:02:34.239 --> 00:02:40.480
um in this case we also run a 580

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

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

00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:52.080
actually full of hot components as well so it doesn't necessarily just you know

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

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:59.920
is how it will actually perform in a system that also has other components

00:02:57.920 --> 00:03:03.360
that are generating heat we close up both side panels during our testing and

00:03:01.640 --> 00:03:07.519
we let the coolers reach equilibrium before we take any of our measurements

00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:12.959
and we measure the ambient temperatures at the intake of the case here using an

00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:15.000
HH 506 ra multil logger thermometer that

00:03:12.959 --> 00:03:19.280
allows us to make sure that whatever results we deliver you once we correct

00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:23.400
them to 20° are going to be easily comparable from one cooler to another

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

00:03:24.959 --> 00:03:32.519
is we can monitor them monitor them and then correct for that so I think that

00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:36.280
pretty much wraps it up in terms of the

00:03:32.519 --> 00:03:37.799
uh the prologue to this so oh yeah so we

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

00:03:39.799 --> 00:03:45.680
so the h110 is I guess I'll spoil the surprise a little bit the highest

00:03:43.720 --> 00:03:49.680
performing CPU Cooler that we've tested it's absolutely enormous and fills up

00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:54.560
the entire top of this case so in spite of its quarter inch tubing and less

00:03:51.920 --> 00:04:01.040
Advanced design compared to the H uh h100i come check out the performance so

00:03:57.720 --> 00:04:03.280
load corrected to 20° C for the h110 in

00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:07.599
a pole configuration is only 66° now we have a bit of an anomaly in

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

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

00:04:13.519 --> 00:04:20.759
with our Kraken x60 either way the h110 performed exactly the way that we'd

00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:22.520
expect so the h90 actually puts up a

00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:28.600
pretty good showing as well performing only about four degrees worse than the

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

00:04:30.080 --> 00:04:36.800
h100i by about 5° um so this is on a six core processor

00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:39.880
so guys what you can do is you can download this chart you can actually

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

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

00:04:46.280 --> 00:04:51.280
methodology any notes we have on the coolers and any future coolers that we

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

00:04:53.919 --> 00:04:59.440
foreseeable future so you guys will always know what to expect when you get

00:04:57.479 --> 00:05:02.400
a cooler and especially if you're going to upgrade to your own pressure

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

00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:10.919
