Corsair has yet another couple products for us from their H series of all-in-one

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:12,040
liquid coolers yes don't be fooled despite the addition of GTX and GT at

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:17,480
the end of the model names there was not a collaboration with NVIDIA but Jokes

4
00:00:14,839 --> 00:00:22,000
Aside these coolers promise a number of performance improvements and some

5
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:26,640
interesting aesthetic changes as well so stay tuned to see how they stack up and

6
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:30,800
stay subscribed to our lineus tips channel to see a future video on the

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:34,760
megahertz myth where we take a look at old versus new when it comes to

8
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:41,459
processors running at equal speeds should be pretty

9
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:50,760
cool The Cooler Master Nova touch tkl utilizes genuine toer hybrid capacitive

10
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:55,520
switches and is now available at a more affordable price click now to learn more

11
00:00:54,039 --> 00:01:01,960
let's kick things off with a physical overview of both units the h80i GT and

12
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:04,479
the h100i GT X have both received fairly

13
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:08,759
substantial makeovers they now feature a more angled look with gray accents not

14
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:13,600
only on the pump but on the radiator as well on the h100i GTX and other feature

15
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:17,640
GTX models the gray design plates can be removed and swapped out for a variety of

16
00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:21,560
different colors though at the time of writing this review not even Corsair's

17
00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:26,600
own website had anything to say about when those came out and none seemed to

18
00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:30,520
be actually available at this time although a little snooping on the

19
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:35,840
product page did reveal what looks like a red replacement plate lucky for us

20
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:40,439
though I have the inside hookup and have been informed that they should be coming

21
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:45,000
out sometime around May both units feature an RGB LED on the top logo area

22
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:49,320
of the pump which can be adjusted in the Corsair link software gone is that

23
00:01:47,399 --> 00:01:53,799
little Snap-on over the pump magnetic mounting bracket that came on previous

24
00:01:51,479 --> 00:01:57,280
generations of the H series coolers but now they have a kind of Hardware

25
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:01,079
mounting solution which is pre-attached for Intel and has a general Twist on

26
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:05,520
Twist Off mechanism for swapping it out if you need AMD overall the mounting

27
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:09,759
block is fairly similar to previous a cooler setups with a standard back plate

28
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:13,760
standoff thumb screw setup which should be easy enough to install the tubing has

29
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:18,640
also received a bump up with some very nice and clean looking sleeving that has

30
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:22,319
no gaps or bare threads to gripe about which in my opinion is pretty amazing

31
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:27,280
overall the aesthetic Improvement compared to the bare black tubes of old

32
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:30,920
is pretty cool in my opinion the tubes also go straight into the pump blck

33
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:35,640
which results and a very clean looking finish although doesn't feel as flexible

34
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:40,519
as the rotating arms of last gen the included fans are the exact same as

35
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:44,519
before they cool all right at low RPMs and they can get really loud at high

36
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:48,640
RPMs but they do manage to shove quite a lot of air through your rad when they do

37
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:53,800
you can configure them however you'd like through Corsair link so pick your

38
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:57,040
poison the fans aren't exactly Square they don't form a perfect seal to the

39
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:01,159
radiator but they do manage to keep their overall static pressure quite High

40
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:06,400
regardless moving on to the tubing for the coolers the h80i GT and h100i gtx's

41
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:10,680
tubing runs are both quite long and stiff resulting in some issues with a

42
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:15,720
few of our cases this might be less of a problem for a full tower perhaps but the

43
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:20,080
tubing runs are so long and sturdy that closing the side panel can prove to be

44
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:23,879
difficult in a few of these cases and a little awkward if you happen to have

45
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:27,680
fans installed on the side panel as well the sturdy overall tubing plus the

46
00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:32,280
sleeving does have the awesome benefit of B being very unlike to Kink which is

47
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:37,400
pretty great for people who are just trying to avoid issues the final gripe

48
00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:42,239
is the fittings yeah they can swivel in socket which looks incredibly great and

49
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,560
very very clean but they don't have the Rotator arms that the previous

50
00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:49,840
generation has as I brought up earlier which in combination with the stiff

51
00:03:47,239 --> 00:03:54,040
tubing can again make installation a bit tricky in a few Solutions but it does

52
00:03:52,239 --> 00:03:58,319
look sexy as hell once you get it in place properly and when you sit back and

53
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,879
gaze upon what you've created it makes the Fairly minor installation issues

54
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:06,360
seem entirely worth it now that we got that out of the air I can finally talk

55
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:10,560
about how it performs and stacks up against the rest of its competition we

56
00:04:08,519 --> 00:04:14,879
had some issues getting the default fans to run at our standard testing speed of

57
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:19,720
1100 RPM hence why they are listed at 1500 RPM on the chart do keep in mind

58
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:24,840
that they do perform well at that speed but have a much louder overall noise

59
00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:30,320
profile that being said the h8i GT with its thick single 120 mm design had a

60
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:34,000
hard time keeping up with our super hot test bench which was expected as our

61
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:38,600
setup often throws off coolers in that range I may dial it down a little bit in

62
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:44,240
the future but it should perform on more reasonably overclocked CPUs we see the

63
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:48,880
h100i GTX Flex a little bit with its new cold plate and pump designs that it

64
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:52,320
shares with its little brother the H GT this results in a bit of a leap from the

65
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:58,800
predecessor and slotting it in as the best cooler under 280 mm that we tested

66
00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:01,960
this time around in conclusion Corsair stepped their game up up improved

67
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:07,280
Aesthetics across the board with sleeve tubing and cool replaceable logo plates

68
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:10,800
which can match your color scheme improved performance through their

69
00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:15,880
improved cold plate and pump design efficiency but is it enough well I don't

70
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:20,080
think anyone who already has an h100 or h100i should run out in the replace

71
00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:25,680
their cooler anytime soon if it's still working fine but anyone that wants a new

72
00:05:22,759 --> 00:05:30,560
240 mm cooler for their build or to replace a malfunctioning cooler this

73
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:34,120
would be a fine option and it performs pretty damn well to boot what do you

74
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:38,280
guys think let me know in the comments down below or over on the forums

75
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:41,160
personally I don't mind the stiff tubing I don't think I'll really have any

76
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:45,199
problems with it and I'm totally willing to make that sacrifice if you want to

77
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,840
call it that uh for the awesome looking sleeving and all that kind of stuff but

78
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:54,000
