corsair hydro h100i pro rgbb

   The H115i Pro RGB and H150i Pro RGB models by CORSAIR have two things in common, top cooling efficiency at very low (almost inaudible) noise levels. Still since the first is a tri-fan 360mm model and the second is a dual-fan 280mm model they don’t feature the best compatibility with PC cases and this is practically where the H100i Pro RGB comes in. Of course because of its smaller size CORSAIR had no other choice but to use high speed 120mm fans which although at quiet and balanced modes are very quiet at performance/extreme they are quite audible (as expected). Of course this means high cooling efficiency and although my guess is that most people will choose to go with balanced instead of performance/extreme still it’s always good to have many different modes to choose from. CORSAIR also puts more weight on their brand new iCUE software (which is also why we used iCUE for this review) and although it doesn’t offer the wealth of information (mostly related to system and CPU temperatures) as their LINK software (the good news is that you can still use it - you can only use one of the two at the same time however) it’s still recommended for people who own more than just one CORSAIR device (unified). The rest remain pretty much the same as with its predecessors so expect a high quality product covered by a 5 year limited warranty.


   CORSAIR officially launched the Hydro H100i Pro RGB just a few hours ago and so it currently retails for USD119.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 122.90Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) a price tag which is actually very balanced for what you're getting. Unfortunately the one thing we’d like to see (as with its predecessors) used is the new RGB fans by CORSAIR and although these would boost the price of the product by quite a bit they look amazing and so it would be great if CORSAIR at least gave that option to consumers. Overall however the H100i Pro RGB is just as good as its predecessors (leaving out its noise levels we tend to agree) and for that it gets our Golden Award.
