Let's see how the Corsair h100i GTX measures up to the competition in the hard fought 240mm rad AIO challenge
Corsair H100i GTX Review

Who said CoolITh34r:
I think your niggles with the cooler were well founded and wd for revealing that the grey trim can easily be removed. For a lot of people will not care about the cables even slightly and value the increased performance over the H100i so really Performance is the perfect award for it.
Corsair were silly with the USB placement and I would say it annoys me but I have become so anal I wouldn't plug it in wherever they placed it. Just set the LED colour in link one time and leave it on it's own after that. Similarly the criticism about not having push/pull support like the H100i is a bit of a weak point for it too. I also really don't like the fact you can't remove the fan cables should you wish to use motherboard headers or fixed voltage fans. I prefer the H105/Kelvin approach of just chucking a few splitters in the packet, but we all know how much Corsair are addicted to moar features. The hoses still look ridiculously long and fixing them is very odd.
I wouldn't go for it and i'm glad I swapped my H105 for a Kelvin rather than waiting for these.

If you dont plug it in you cant control the pump YOU would need to faff about with this. After our debate the other day this at full chat isnt quiet at all. Compared to the H110i GT this thing is plain noisey and I honestly think its down to the Asetek OEM
A nice review there, it looks quite good apart from that usb connection and a tiny little detail that you didnt pick up on which i think is important but utterly small.
If the other one is reversed you could take them both off and swap them over. If the other one isn't reversed then someone at Corsair better do a catastrophic facepalm right now.

How is it possible that the delta T values between coolers (say Corsair H110i GT and Fractal Kelvin s36) is higher at idle and lower at more heat loads?
Thanks for the review Tomgreat stuff custom loop for me it is then

If you were thinking this or a custom loop then Im confused because the next step up from this is a 360mm rad with your GPU in the loop too.
possibly stupid question, would replacing my h100 to h100i gtx something worth while? or would it just be a waste of money? looking at graph its about 8 degrees diffrence on low vs silent
I'm working on my 2nd build with a Cooler Master HAF XB EVO case. I don't think I can really fit a dual 140mm AIO solution into it. I was originally going to buy a H100i and slap two NF-12's on it.
My question is would it be worth buying the H100i GTX to slap two Noctua fans on it? I'd love to see you guys do a review of the H100i GTX with some non-stock fan options.
The HAF XB EVO supposedly fits 140mm front fans, but I don't think it'll fit them and a dual 140mm radiator. I have a case, so I might have to break out the tape measure and check.
