welcome to my unboxing and first look at the most exciting duel 120 millimeter radiator prefilled maintenance-free liquid cooler from Corsair since the H 100 this is the courser h 100 i and we are going to unbox it and we are going to find out what is better about it than the originally 100 because i can already tell you one thing based on the picture those fans are so much better than the ones that are included with the H 100 that it is not even funny anymore those are looking like Corsairs SP series fans and those are some serious business pretty cool fan so let's have a look at what we got on the outside of the packaging to start with here so okay extreme performance liquid CPU cooler I can believe that all right we got some cool specs bro and some sort of okay moving right along we've got some comparisons to the Intel Box cooler which is just totally unfair to this cooler why do they compare to the Intel Box cooler what's the point of that they should compare to other high performance coolers because it can show itself as being like pretty fast kicking at that level as well hydro serious requires a case with two 120 millimeter fan mounts on top with 15 millimeter spacing for standard dual radiators okay magnetic mounting bracket and mounting hardware Corsair link cable those are two other very cool things that are included with this cooler so what is a magnetic mounting bracket I have no idea stop don't return it to the store and product solutions guide aa manual warranty information notification for Australian consumers this is a sample from Corsair so I guess they sent me an Australian sample okay so you got some pretty cool instructions for how to install the back plate fans and radiators the manticore oh cool I love it oh I'm super excited about this okay so let's start with the cooler actually I lied we're not going to start with the cooler we're going to start with other since we're gonna get everything out of the box love back in the moment alright so everything you see in front of me is extremely exciting because it's all part of this whole package deal thing that we got going on here so first things first most boring possible part all the screws and mounting hardware and whatnot so you got all the screws you need to mount your fans to your rad you got all the screws you need to mount your Intel whatnot to your Intel other whatnots and then you've got these little pieces for for mounting on AMD these guys are for putting around your CPU sockets so this is pretty similar to what we saw on the original h100 except for the coolest thing ever check this out instead of a sort of no offense to the previous generation course or product but kind of horrible and total pain in the butt system that we had before now if you want to change what socket you want to mount on please go like that and then you put your chair so you put your little brackets under here if you want to mount on AMD just like that you put the screw on the top of it and it's done then you can just pull it off like this no big deal intel mount just like this no big deal so awesome this is great for guys like me who are swapping sockets all the time and it's just oh just freaking awesome Universal backplate for everything from LGA 1155 and 11:56 to 1366 to 2011 actually sorry not 2011 2011 is done using these ones right here so it does doesn't this one is not needed but this piece will still be used for 2011 this is the universal one so pretty much any Intel socket you can imagine can be mounted to with this cooler and I'm actually going to check on the back of the box and see if they have support for looks like yeah no it doesn't go all the way back to seven so five however quite frankly if you're spending over a hundred dollars on the CPU cooler for your 775 CPU then you need to adjust your priorities all right two things here check this out you can control not only the two fans that are included with the H 100 I using one of these little adapters right here that takes your 4 pin or 3 pin fan can do whichever you want and uses the built-in corsair link software that can be controlled from your desktop to adjust your fan profiles and monitor your coolant temperature and all kinds of cool stuff like that but you can also plug in another one totally optional you don't have to plug it in it's up to you the choice is yours you're the consumer and you can control an additional two fans just like that so cool love to see these kinds of options and Corsair is so good at aesthetics every wire is black it just looks perfect like everything about it is just just perfect just awesome Corsair link interfaces with your system using a simple USB connection so you got to do is plug this guy into here so you're going to go ahead you're going to have that on your socket you're going to run this around the back of your motherboard and plug it into your USB header on your motherboard oh and this looks way better than the older one as well actually this is everything about this is better that looks fantastic let's go ahead and take this off so you guys can really see a nice glossy Corsair logo going on there very very very very sleek the fans let's talk about the fans that are included so these are kind of like a liquid okay I hate to use this word but kind of like a cheapo version of the espys where they have the same blade design the same frame design but we lose the rubber mounts we lose the the interchangeable coloured rings so these are things that are just kind of too expensive for an included OEM style fan yeah this is kind of cool though there's little spots to mount what appears these look like LED mounts but they don't go all the way through but slick was saying you could just kind of drill through and you could probably mount LEDs on it which would be pretty sweet and they're sort of an off color but it'll still look very sort of matching and high performance once they're spinning and they're on you're there on your dad like that's gonna look outstanding so you get two of those these are way better than what was included with previous generation products because these broad blades and the way that they're swept aren't great for moving a ton of air in an open configuration like this but they're fantastic for moving enough air through a very very tight thin matrix like this you can check out my episode on the NCIX comm channel where I introduced the SP series fans and talked about how much better they are for certain applications now let's get to the cooler itself the radiator hasn't changed much you got your standard radiator mounting size you got your they look like the same thin density so nothing's really changed here but Corsair has increased the size of the coolant hoses they've also dramatically improved the quality of them check this out even though this is 3/8 inch tubing you can do pretty much whatever you need to do with it to get it to your CPU socket this is way better than what we saw included on the H 100 I have an H 100 over here which you guys can come out and look at so see this used a corrugated plastic that was it wasn't going to kink or anything but it wasn't very flexible and it didn't allow you to manage it very easily so this is definitely way better nice and soft and we've still got C these are rotating fittings so that you can get it wherever you need to get at the bottom is copper which it better be and it's got pre applied very high quality thermal compound you probably won't even see much improvement from changing that out to something that's you know an aftermarket thermal compound so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the course RH 100 I I've recommended the course RH 100 probably a hundred times on Twitter or Facebook or wherever else and I will do this exactly the same thing to this one because it is so much better than single radiator solutions and the build quality this looks just outstanding the corsair link software is a bonus and the fact that he now includes very competitive performance fans where previously the h 100 had fans that you probably want to
