00:00:07.720 --> 00:00:17.359
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Corsair h110 this is a

00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:19.680
280 mm liquid cooler from Corsair it is

00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:23.680
an all-in-one pre-filled liquid cooler which means it's pretty much zero

00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:28.400
maintenance uh within its reasonably expected lifespan of how long you would

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:34.040
have that computer and it is simple to install as long as you pick out a case

00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:37.680
that it is compatible with as we open up the box we find everything packed in a

00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:42.399
neat eco-friendly package so this is using sort of brown paper cardboard

00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:46.640
rather than going heavy on the foam even things like the radiator itself are not

00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:50.800
packed in foam it's just a a paper recyclable material which I do like to

00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:56.960
see also you have a warranty card that tells you not a whole lot but it's okay

00:00:54.079 --> 00:01:00.280
because on the duration of warranty well it depends anywhere from 2 years to

00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:05.239
Lifetime it's okay though because tells you right on the outside of the box that

00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:06.799
it is a 5-year guarantee from Corsair

00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:13.560
Inside the Box we find a number of things including two 140 mm fans it

00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:18.360
should be noted that unlike the Corsair 100i these are not Corsair designed fans

00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:23.200
I mean they're Corsair fans but they don't have the flat blades like the SP

00:01:20.759 --> 00:01:27.439
Series so they're using more of what we saw on Corsair's last generation liquid

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:32.399
coolers in terms of the blade design okay they are four pin pwm fans however

00:01:29.720 --> 00:01:35.600
and they do have uh black ribbon cables so they're going to go well with your

00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:40.360
system pretty much no matter what I mean Corsair is uh is so good at making sure

00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:43.920
that their components are not only high performance but also are held to a

00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:47.799
different standard in terms of Aesthetics for mounting hardware you've

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:54.119
got everything you need for pretty much every socket you could possibly need

00:01:49.880 --> 00:01:57.320
including fm1 fm2 am3 am3 plus am2 am2

00:01:54.119 --> 00:02:02.200
plus LGA 1156 LGA 1155

00:01:57.320 --> 00:02:04.039
lga775 LGA 1366 and LGA 2011 the

00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:07.240
instructions that are included are very straightforward and again we're used to

00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:12.000
seeing this and if you've installed something like a Corsair h70 or H50 in

00:02:09.959 --> 00:02:17.599
the past you'll pretty much already know how to use all of this stuff one of the

00:02:14.040 --> 00:02:19.200
challenging things with the Corsair 100

00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:25.080
or rather h110 is case compatibility so there are

00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:29.200
some Corsair cases compatible with this particular cooler uh I mean even some of

00:02:27.920 --> 00:02:33.200
the cases that they don't say are compatible actually ended up working for

00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:37.959
example uh we found that we could install it in a Vengeance C70 which is

00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:42.000
right over there and that is not listed as compatible we did this without any

00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:46.519
cutting all we had to do was get some washers and put them uh between the

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:50.519
screws and the case itself because the holes were a little bit wide so that was

00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:55.840
the only issue so with a little bit of Ingenuity if you've got a dual 140 mm

00:02:53.480 --> 00:03:00.800
fan mount in the top and enough clearance to have not only the radiator

00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:03.720
but also the fan itself without interfering with any of the components

00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:08.720
of your motherboard you shouldn't run into too much difficulty the radiator

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:14.599
itself is as you'd expect about 36% larger than an h100i or an h100 due to

00:03:12.519 --> 00:03:18.280
the larger fan design it is still a fairly slim radiator so this is

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:21.200
necessary because the last thing you want to do with a product like this

00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:24.560
that's not compatible with every case out there is go and make it thicker so

00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:28.120
that it's compatible with even fewer cases because it's so wide you're not

00:03:26.799 --> 00:03:33.920
going to be able to do what some case manufacturers have done and that is to

00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:35.120
offset the 120 mm mounting holes in the

00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:40.680
top so that there's room for the motherboard on the side rather than centering it with something this large

00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:44.319
the tubing is a very very flexible quarter-inch tubing so that's another

00:03:42.760 --> 00:03:48.920
option that hasn't been carried over from the h100i and addition to Corsair

00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:55.480
link software not being included with the h110 at this time so the h100i has

00:03:52.079 --> 00:03:58.239
38 tubing whereas the h100 when these

00:03:55.480 --> 00:04:04.319
are very confusing model names h110 does not have 38 in tubing it has 1/4 inch

00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:06.280
tubing it also lacks uh here we go uh

00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:10.640
rather no it doesn't lack it uh oh yeah it also lacks lighting effects on the

00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:14.000
Block itself but it does have the same swiveling connectors here so that you're

00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:18.120
not going to have any difficulty regardless of where your CPU socket is

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:22.400
situated on your motherboard making sure that the tubing is not sort of at a

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:26.639
weird angle that puts unnecessary strain on the connectors the design for

00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:30.440
mounting is the traditional sort of ring mounting bracket that we've seen many

00:04:29.080 --> 00:04:38.479
times in the past with a copper base that has a highquality thermal compound pre-applied

00:04:33.919 --> 00:04:41.639
to it and the pump here we go is powered

00:04:38.479 --> 00:04:43.800
by a black ribbon cable that is a three

00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:48.880
pin connector so that'll plug into either a pwm CPU fan connector or a

00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:52.320
legacy 3 pin connector but you'll only be able to use DC control if you wanted

00:04:50.840 --> 00:04:57.840
to lower the speed of the pump but I really really wouldn't recommend doing

00:04:54.440 --> 00:04:59.400
that in 95 cases out of actually 100

00:04:57.840 --> 00:05:04.199
cases out of 100 just don't do that thank thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the h110 from
