00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:07.160
Corsair has yet another couple products for us from their H series of all-in-one

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:12.040
liquid coolers yes don't be fooled despite the addition of GTX and GT at

00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:17.480
the end of the model names there was not a collaboration with NVIDIA but Jokes

00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:22.000
Aside these coolers promise a number of performance improvements and some

00:00:19.119 --> 00:00:26.640
interesting aesthetic changes as well so stay tuned to see how they stack up and

00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:30.800
stay subscribed to our lineus tips channel to see a future video on the

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:34.760
megahertz myth where we take a look at old versus new when it comes to

00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:41.459
processors running at equal speeds should be pretty

00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:50.760
cool The Cooler Master Nova touch tkl utilizes genuine toer hybrid capacitive

00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:55.520
switches and is now available at a more affordable price click now to learn more

00:00:54.039 --> 00:01:01.960
let's kick things off with a physical overview of both units the h80i GT and

00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:04.479
the h100i GT X have both received fairly

00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:08.759
substantial makeovers they now feature a more angled look with gray accents not

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

00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:17.640
GTX models the gray design plates can be removed and swapped out for a variety of

00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:21.560
different colors though at the time of writing this review not even Corsair's

00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:26.600
own website had anything to say about when those came out and none seemed to

00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:30.520
be actually available at this time although a little snooping on the

00:01:27.960 --> 00:01:35.840
product page did reveal what looks like a red replacement plate lucky for us

00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:40.439
though I have the inside hookup and have been informed that they should be coming

00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:45.000
out sometime around May both units feature an RGB LED on the top logo area

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:49.320
of the pump which can be adjusted in the Corsair link software gone is that

00:01:47.399 --> 00:01:53.799
little Snap-on over the pump magnetic mounting bracket that came on previous

00:01:51.479 --> 00:01:57.280
generations of the H series coolers but now they have a kind of Hardware

00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:01.079
mounting solution which is pre-attached for Intel and has a general Twist on

00:01:59.320 --> 00:02:05.520
Twist Off mechanism for swapping it out if you need AMD overall the mounting

00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:09.759
block is fairly similar to previous a cooler setups with a standard back plate

00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:13.760
standoff thumb screw setup which should be easy enough to install the tubing has

00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:18.640
also received a bump up with some very nice and clean looking sleeving that has

00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:22.319
no gaps or bare threads to gripe about which in my opinion is pretty amazing

00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:27.280
overall the aesthetic Improvement compared to the bare black tubes of old

00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:30.920
is pretty cool in my opinion the tubes also go straight into the pump blck

00:02:28.920 --> 00:02:35.640
which results and a very clean looking finish although doesn't feel as flexible

00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:40.519
as the rotating arms of last gen the included fans are the exact same as

00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:44.519
before they cool all right at low RPMs and they can get really loud at high

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

00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:53.800
you can configure them however you'd like through Corsair link so pick your

00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:57.040
poison the fans aren't exactly Square they don't form a perfect seal to the

00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:01.159
radiator but they do manage to keep their overall static pressure quite High

00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:06.400
regardless moving on to the tubing for the coolers the h80i GT and h100i gtx's

00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:10.680
tubing runs are both quite long and stiff resulting in some issues with a

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

00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:20.080
tubing runs are so long and sturdy that closing the side panel can prove to be

00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:23.879
difficult in a few of these cases and a little awkward if you happen to have

00:03:21.720 --> 00:03:27.680
fans installed on the side panel as well the sturdy overall tubing plus the

00:03:25.519 --> 00:03:32.280
sleeving does have the awesome benefit of B being very unlike to Kink which is

00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:37.400
pretty great for people who are just trying to avoid issues the final gripe

00:03:34.959 --> 00:03:42.239
is the fittings yeah they can swivel in socket which looks incredibly great and

00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:45.560
very very clean but they don't have the Rotator arms that the previous

00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:49.840
generation has as I brought up earlier which in combination with the stiff

00:03:47.239 --> 00:03:54.040
tubing can again make installation a bit tricky in a few Solutions but it does

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

00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:02.879
gaze upon what you've created it makes the Fairly minor installation issues

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

00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:10.560
about how it performs and stacks up against the rest of its competition we

00:04:08.519 --> 00:04:14.879
had some issues getting the default fans to run at our standard testing speed of

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

00:04:17.400 --> 00:04:24.840
that they do perform well at that speed but have a much louder overall noise

00:04:21.919 --> 00:04:30.320
profile that being said the h8i GT with its thick single 120 mm design had a

00:04:27.880 --> 00:04:34.000
hard time keeping up with our super hot test bench which was expected as our

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

00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:44.240
the future but it should perform on more reasonably overclocked CPUs we see the

00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:48.880
h100i GTX Flex a little bit with its new cold plate and pump designs that it

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

00:04:50.440 --> 00:04:58.800
predecessor and slotting it in as the best cooler under 280 mm that we tested

00:04:55.840 --> 00:05:01.960
this time around in conclusion Corsair stepped their game up up improved

00:05:00.320 --> 00:05:07.280
Aesthetics across the board with sleeve tubing and cool replaceable logo plates

00:05:04.880 --> 00:05:10.800
which can match your color scheme improved performance through their

00:05:09.039 --> 00:05:15.880
improved cold plate and pump design efficiency but is it enough well I don't

00:05:13.960 --> 00:05:20.080
think anyone who already has an h100 or h100i should run out in the replace

00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:25.680
their cooler anytime soon if it's still working fine but anyone that wants a new

00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:30.560
240 mm cooler for their build or to replace a malfunctioning cooler this

00:05:28.440 --> 00:05:34.120
would be a fine option and it performs pretty damn well to boot what do you

00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:38.280
guys think let me know in the comments down below or over on the forums

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

00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:45.199
problems with it and I'm totally willing to make that sacrifice if you want to

00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:47.840
call it that uh for the awesome looking sleeving and all that kind of stuff but

00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:54.000
