Corsair Hydro H60 Liquid CPU Cooler - Black

Product Information

Also, if you have that reservoir and larger diameter tubing, you can use a higher volume pump to deliver cool liquid faster. In fact, if you compare the original H60 with the old fan (CF12S25M12AP) against the new H60 and the new fan (31-000408), the new revision has a 2 °C cooling advantage over the original. Death666Angel - Monday, November 7, 2011 - link Maybe if it is a high-end radiator or noise isn't that important. The last remaining portion of testing is to see if the fan is spinning any faster (and thus louder) with the new revision.

This should give us a clear idea of how the new revision compares to the original Corsair H60 across a range of fans. The new heat sync sits on top of the CPU neatly and the pack includes fastening straps for both AMD and Intel CPUs. To summarize our fan speed results, the new revision does not require higher RPMs, and is thus no louder than the original H60.

We also have to wonder if using the same bracket for both AM3 and AM4 was a wise decision on Corsair’s part. The H60 adopts innovative design and construction techniques to bring broader appeal to a well established brand. Using only one 360 radiator for a setup that can use 300-400W sounds very noisy and it looks as though air cooling could do a better job then, 2*140mm fans heatsink for CPU and triple 80mm fans for GPU for example are relatively easy to come by, fit in most cases more easily than a whole water cooling kit. We listen closely to what our clients want, give guidance from the experience of others and believe strongly that adaptability and continuous improvement should be vigorously pursued and not simply accepted.

First is idle at the desktop, where we report the minimum over a five-minute span (minor OS operations can spike temperatures momentarily, but these spikes can be ignored).This is much closer than dBa readings are normally taken at, but we expect the difference between the two fans to be very small so we would rather have slightly exaggerated results.

The aesthetics were not what Corsair were focusing on in the creation of this cooler, but it doesn't do a bad job of looking good.They have previously partnered with Asetek for other Hydro Series products (H40/H50/H70/H70 Core), but our focus here is on the H60, H80, and H100. The lack of Corsair Link makes the H60 very very easy to use, all you need to do it make sure the pump is powered, and the fans is plugged in and that's it. With the Germán Frers eye for performance the Hylas H60 will make short-work of even the longest passages. Corsair does not have published specs for the original H60 fan, so the only way to tell if the new fan is better than the original is for us to do our own testing. It took me a lot longer to fit the fan and radiator than I had anticipated and this was exacerbated by the difficulty of getting the bolts into the thread on the radiator- I assume because of enamel on the threads.
