Corsair, the leading supplier of high-performance liquid CPU coolers for PC enthusiasts, today announced the Hydro Series H100i and H80i liquid CPU coolers, a ground-up re-design of the world's most popular, proven, and award-winning liquid CPU coolers, the H100 and H80. The new H100i and H80i models have been enhanced to deliver improved cooling, quieter operation, simpler installation, and Corsair Link digital control.

Better Cooling, Lower Noise

To improve cooling performance over previous generations, the Hydro Series H100i and H80i coolers use new, more efficient copper cold plates, improved manifolds, optimized fan designs, and larger diameter tubing for increased coolant flow. Corsair's new flagship liquid CPU cooler, the Hydro Series H100i, utilizes a 240 mm radiator for increased surface area and cooling capacity. The Hydro Series H80i uses a double-thick 120 mm radiator and two fans in a 'push-pull' arrangement and is compatible with most enthusiast cases with a 120 mm rear exhaust fan.



Both the H100i and H80i use new SP120L High Performance fans based on Corsair's static pressure optimized Air Series SP120 fans. The SP120L utilizes wide-body, low-pitch fan blades designed for outstanding static pressure at a lower noise level, and a motor that has been specially tuned for high torque, ensuring consistently high performance when used in high resistance environments such as on a liquid cooling radiator. With the new SP120L fans, noise levels have been reduced significantly.

"Class-leading performance, and reliable, quiet CPU cooling have made the Hydro Series the most popular and award-winning liquid CPU coolers in the world," said Thi La, Senior VP & GM of Memory and Enthusiast Component Products at Corsair. "The new H100i and H80i coolers demonstrate Corsair's commitment to providing our customers with the latest and best technology, including unparalleled configuration and monitoring, while improving ease-of-use and compatibility."

Integrated Corsair Link

Out of the box compatibility with Corsair Link *No additional hardware is necessary* provides control over fan speeds and noise levels, pump head LED lighting customization, and the ability to create custom cooling profiles from the Corsair Link Dashboard's easy-to-use software interface. An additional Corsair Link Digital connector on the pump head provides monitoring and control of other devices, such as Corsair Link equipped power supplies, Lighting Nodes, Cooling Nodes, and the Airflow Pro memory activity and temperature monitor kits.

The integrated design of the Hydro Series H100i and H80i combined with new materials and features make installation simpler than ever. The composite rubber tubing is more flexible than the FEP/FPA tubing used in previous coolers, making installation and routing easier but maintaining the previous generation's ultra-low evaporation rates. A new magnetic mounting bracket allows PC builders to quickly and effortlessly configure the coolers for all modern Intel or AMD motherboard sockets.

Superior Compatibility with Cases and CPUs

The Hydro Series H100i is compatible with most cases that feature 240 mm fan mounts designed specifically to support radiators. In most Corsair cases, the H100i can be installed in minutes, and requires no adapters or user modification. The Hydro Series H80i is compatible with most cases that feature a rear 120 mm fan mount. All support motherboards based on the Intel LGA115x/1366/2011 and AMD AM2/AM3/FM1/FM2 CPU sockets.

Warranty, Pricing, and Availability

The new Hydro Series coolers are backed by Corsair's industry leading five-year limited warranty and technical support. The products will be available in November from Corsair's worldwide network of resellers and distributors. Prices in the United States are listed below:

Hydro Series H100i $119.99 USD
Hydro Series H80i $99.99 USD

hopefully the h100i will be available in a week, coz thats when i want to get new hardware and build a new rig

Hoping so too as I'm not too fond of the super stiff tubes of the current H80, The "i" versions rubber type tubes should make placement a lot easier :)
 
i want to see temperature benchmarks against the previous h80's and h100's... wish i had money to splash on the h100i to do it myself. nonetheless, great thing to improve on. :)
 
I want a H100i for my new rig, they sound excellent. Hopefully tom will be able to get one and is planning on doing a review.
 
i would be very surprised if tom didnt have one of these. i would expect due to his dealings with corsair, that he has had a couple of these coolers in his office for weeks
 
Quite interested by the claims of keeping a 3770k @ 4.6ghz 47.94 degrees C under load...
I'm guessing that's an overall temperature too, not delta since they state the ambient as being 25 degrees....

It all depends on the Silicone Lottery when it comes to what volts are needed for the 4.6 Ghz

The temperature depends on what Volts were going through it. The Higher the Voltages, The Higher the Temps will be, and the Lower the Voltages are, The lower the temps will be.

Yeah I know that...

Regardless of how good the silicone lottery is though, under 50 degrees for a 4.6ghz overclock is very impressive. My D14 is closer to 75/80 degrees under the same conditions on my chip. You're still pretty unlikely to see a 10 degree difference at a lowish overclock (for Ivybridge) between chips, so the new H100i should be promising.

Obviously we'll have to wait for reviews though - can never really trust what manufacturers say.
 
KK just seemed that you care a lot about temps, I would never recommend to do that the risk is to high in my opp. Just wanted to show you the difference.

Nah, not massively mate.

Just saying how good the reported temps from the H100i are.

I have no issues at all with temps of my D14, with Silverstone fans running at 5v even. But I've realised how much better and more open PCs look with a waterblock, rather than a massive heatsink that takes up half of the case.
