You wait ages for a Corsair cooler, and then two come along at once. But will they perform?

Great review guv !

Very nice. Big fan of triple rads. You can run the fans at 5v and the cooling is still exceptional !

Nice to see another 360 AIO too.
 
Damn, that performs incredibly well. I thought we were hitting the limits of AIOs, but those numbers are highly impressive. Other reviews aren't so favourable, but still good numbers.

I think pump tech has improved a lot. Plus people are starting to design their own now instead of copying Asetek.

Yeah, I was always a little frustrated that Asetek stamped down hard on CPU block-mounted pumps as it somewhat stifled innovation and competition.

I also imagine people will start to design their cases with this new AIO in mind as it could sell very well. The smaller variants will probably sell better, but still.
 
Last paragraph in third page: "It'll be interesting to see which is more effective, the longer H150i with its three 1200RPM speed fans, or the H115i with a slighter thicker rad and two fans rotating at a higher 1600RPM."

Fan speeds are wrong. It should be:

"It'll be interesting to see which is more effective, the longer H150i with its three 1600RPM speed fans, or the H115i with a slighter thicker rad and two fans rotating at a lower 1200RPM."
 
Do you need them? I mean you could cool Ryzen with a 120 tbh.

Yeah my 1800X, Stock clocks and volts ATM until I get a proper GPU to accompany it, Runs cool as can be even when it does it's auto boost thing and that's on a 280mm AIO set to silent with fans at 600RPM.
 
so tempted by the 150i but the kitty is dry ( expecting new mobo, M.2 and CPU tomorrow ) ..still maybe the 150i in front of the 780T case

still think the RGB would make buyers think that the fans would be RGB but have enough at the moment

would replacing the fans on the 150i with the HD120RGB ( connected to Pro Commander ) work ? would have at front of 780T and put the fans from the 150i at the top of the case as an exhaust...then again why not just put the 150i at the top ?

to me RGB means something like this Thermaltake Floe Riing RGB 240 TT Premium Edition Liquid CPU Cooler or the Coolmaster MasterLiquid ML240L RGB

Some interesting review results for H150i Pro out there. On OC3D almost looks to good to be true, on tom's hardware bad compared to the best coolers but most reviewers have it in the top 3.
Such different results:huh:

Yeah, I noticed that as well. Tom's review shows incredible results, but other people show results that aren't in any way groundbreaking.

Need or want :)

I have a 360 custom loop on my 1800X now. On stock settings a potato would probably cool it. When I crank it up to 4GHZ or higher, then yeah I could use it. Disclaimer, anything over 4GHZ is a suicide run and not for 24/7 use.

I would like to see how this compares. It should be close, at least within 5C.

Things do vary depending on your test configuration. Tom Hardware uses an i7 5930K at 4.2GHz 1.2V, which is not by any means a high overclock, not exactly dishing out all of the heat.

I trust Gary with the Heatsink testing. The setups he uses tests a range of thermal loads that range from stock to high-end overclocks, allowing us to push things towards the limit.
