This would be a good solution for a noob like me. But the Hyper 212+ is enough for me as I'm not going to overclock my CPU over 4.5GHz.

Coolit, who are one of Corsairs partners, and I think make most of the "H" series range for them already have...

Coolit make the H60, H80 and H100. The H50 and H70 were made by Antec I believe.
How did the fan manufacturer manage to squeeze 7.7mm/H2O of static pressure? Noctua NF-P12 120mm Fan only give out 1.68 and they were designed with static pressure in mind!

They should ship that with a external fan controller as standard not as a addon on. A small bracket with a button would be better than having it on the top of the cpu block. how many people gonna keep opening up there case to get dust in just to change the fan speed. I thought that would have make is a silver not a gold award.
Good idea, good product , bad execution of the fan controller ...

Yeah I would prefer to have a fan controller as well. Too noisy the fans at full whack.

The H50/H70 are made by Asetek. Which now make the Antec Khuler 620/920. Also they are coming out with there own 240mm rad setup to go against the H100. One of the biggest difference is that will come with software, 1.5" rad vs H100 1" and four 120mm fans.
So I'm waiting for that one to see how well it beats out the H100.
I would be interested to see the results with 4 fans in a push/pull configuration on the H100. I picked up a H80 last week when I did some upgrades to my system (wasn't ready to rebuild my custom loop) and I was suprised that after running Prime for a few hours on the medium setting on a I7 960 @ 4GHZ (25x160) 1.325 core Voltage at an ambient temp of approx. 25C the average temp was around 69-71C range. This was with a push/pull with stock corsair fans bringing air in from the front of the case. It is reasonably quiet on the medium setting also when running prime or playing games Like LOTRO and Star Trek Online, have not tried it with a shooter or car/plane sim yet.

i would only get this with push pull fans on it then it would not sit so nicely at the top of a corsair case it would fit nicely into a haf x though.
i saw another review using 4 quiet fans in push pull and the temps dropped even more a good -4 to 6c at full load using 1.35v at 4.5ghz on a core i7950 the user highly reccomended it but did comment on the fins being bent as the supplied screws were slightly too long corsair aparently have fixed this issue.
he did state that the 4 fans he bought cost him a further £80 uk £20 each for highflow 17db at 12v and it would of worked out cheaper to get a full water kit.

Was it this guy? I just posted this vid in a thread about the fans he was using but I might as well post it here as well seen as it's relevant.

Excellent review. I bought into the closed loop system with the H50. With 2 aftermarket rosewill fans it works quite nicely on the Q6600, 3.6ghz, 1.45 volts, about a 45 degree delta. I have been curious for some time how the H100 would stack up. Now I know; thanks.
Maybe they'll figure out there might be more value in a thicker radiator that has some sort of "quick disconnect" feature so people can mount the radiator on the outside. If they can't do it cheaply for $100 US or less, its probably pointless though.

PNY's got a closed loop cooling system on their gtx 580s. It's a 120mm job. I personally wouldn't even consider it b/c you run into the problem of "wtf do I mount this shit?" - especially if you did sli hehe
I haven't seen it for sale anywhere except bestbuy.com but its been atleast a week since I looked around for it... purely out of curiosity.
Personally I wouldn't use one of the enclosed systems for GPU, especially if you were going to use one for the CPU aswell. By the time you've bought both of those, you might aswell have invested in a decent watercooling setup.
And yeah, I agree with your concerns about mounting, I imagine it'd have to go on the rear exhaust mount, and the CPU Rad would have to go in the roof. It'd make a case messy.....
