Reviews around aio (4.86 of 5)

  • This AIO water cool system (my very first stab at water cooling) is amazing
  • NZXT does make some nice AIO coolers, but they are almost double the price
  • According to quality reviews, air coolers perform almost as good as liquid AIO coolers and there is NO BUGGY SOFTWARE.
  • This product is by far the best AIO for the money at the time of this review
  • For the money this is probably one of the best AIO coolers you can buy

Reviews around job (4.85 of 5)

  • It is doing a great job keeping a 6600K nice and cool with a mild overclock
  • Other than that, it is doing a great job keeping my Processor running super cool versus the stock fan and
  • It's more money, more hassles/complicated to install, and it does a WORSE job of cooling than a 120mm AIO cooler.
  • My cooler is doing a great job of keeping my temperatures down, but the pump is obscenely loud
  • Before this it ran very silent and did a great job at keeping my CPU cool while under heavy use

Reviews around system (4.49 of 5)

  • v2 Extreme is the best cooling system (water) that I have had the pleasure of working with
  • With no heavy use and for it to just die suddenly and crash the system over and over along with overheating my CPU to over 100c that pissed me off and put a big bitter taste on things
  • This AIO water cool system (my very first stab at water cooling) is amazing
  • This AIO cooling system is nothing but a different shape of a CPU fan!
  • Now my system runs 20-30 c idle, 28-48 c during heavy game play

Reviews around look (4.40 of 5)

  • you want a full spectrum of lighting and a really nice looking cooler, then yes
  • Love the look of this water cooler paired with the RGB lighting it's amazing !!
  • These factors really improved the overall look of the system
  • Unless you absolutely despise the look of air coolers, this cooler isn't necessary unless you plan on doing some overclocking
  • So far it is keeping my 4790K in the mid to upper 20's idling at stock 4.0mhz

Reviews around cooler (4.34 of 5)

  • This cooler, as you most likely know, is among the best price/performance liquid coolers out there
  • After less than 6 months the pump in the AIO cooler failed causing the CPU to over heat has not worked since do not recommend but the NZXT kraken coolers are much better.
  • The cpu started overheating 90-100 c every time
  • a CPU Fan error and the proccesor was 98 C
  • This has been one of the best liquid coolers I have ever used

Reviews around performance (4.31 of 5)

  • Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler CW-9060025-WWI don't really have an OC bug, but i do love me some performance
  • Although, depending on fan orientation the performance can vary slightly, or even drastically
  • Performance wise this cooler has kept my i7 8700k running at the stock
  • Overall, the H100i v2 is a very good all-in-one cooler with incredible performance

Reviews around install (4.24 of 5)

  • My initial impressions are that it's a pretty easy install, and the results are quite quiet.
  • On top of that, my model did NOT come with the INSTRUCTION MANUAL, making for a very frustrating install
  • The install was pretty easy, I top mounted this in my case (corsair graphite 760T)
  • Install was easy, but took a moment to determine the correct screws for the Intel chip
  • Careful of standoff screws when installing, easily confusing on which one for certain boards

Reviews around installation (3.75 of 5)

  • Pictures didn't help much just hindered the installation
  • Installation was a pain in a Corsair case but has been running smooth for months
  • Here's what I got so far:Crazy easy installation, in fact it was so
  • :Installation is very easy however to install this cooler you will need to install a support bracket on the underside of your motherboard
  • The installation wasn't as hard as I thought it would be

Reviews around cpu (3.59 of 5)

  • So the cooler keeps running at full speed because it thinks the cpu is hot when its notand so it's really annoying
  • Very noisy, It keeps the CPU cool enough but these fans scream at full throttle
  • Keeps cpu cool you can set different performance settings
  • My computer gave me a warning message that my CPU was overheating
  • Keeps my CPU cooler than any other product I have had in the past, and looks sweet.

Reviews around corsair (3.54 of 5)

  • Also, corsair was completely useless in providing an actual ETA for the AM4 bracket needed for this
  • Looks like Corsair has no QA and just pushes a sub par product out as fast as they can.

Reviews around backplate (3.15 of 5)

  • Locate the 4 standoff screws you will use to secure the backplate
  • lesson learned, if the backplate is loose, don't use a set of pliers to screw them in.
  • I frantically and fruitlessly search my entire house to see if the backplate and screws went missing
  • My guess is since backplate was loose while tightening block it was making the block not sit flat on the cpu
  • Have been using my stock cooler as I am very cautious to buy another liquid cooler b/c of the cost and am not going to the trouble to send it

Reviews around temp (3.06 of 5)

  • Keeps my temps well below the throttle range for a I7-6700K.Get this cooler
  • While I can't remember the idle and load temps from the new install of the H60 4 years ago
  • Great CPU cooler keeps my temps down never getting about 80 c
  • Idle temps are 5c cooler and Prime 95 maxes in the low 50s
  • I have it cooling an AMD FX-8350(not oc) and I am getting idle temps at 10 degrees Celsius, and max 30 degrees under load

Reviews around bracket (2.86 of 5)

  • My old air cooler had 18 C at idle and 25 C while browsing the web
  • The mounting bracket instructions for changing from Intel to Ryzen tell you the wrong thing in regards to which direction to twist the retention bracket, so look out for that if you have issues removing that
  • It worked on my 4790K for about 4 years and is working fine on my 8700K
  • They say ideal is 50 C, max sustained is 60 and you have a cooling problem if your cpu stays at 70 for long
  • In order to get the Intel bracket off, you have to apply even pressure around the entire circular metal plate AND twist the bracket in a clockwise direction, and no matter what I did, there was some spot I was missing

Reviews around heat sink (2.29 of 5)

  • You can't "suck" out the warm air from radiators as effectively as you can cool them by providing colder air for the heat to "radiate" off of
  • Looks like Corsair has no QA and just pushes a sub par product out as fast as they can.
  • Great cooler!However be careful of the fragile aluminum in the heat sink, can dent easily
  • It worked on my 4790K for about 4 years and is working fine on my 8700K
  • Unless you have some serious cash and don't mind the frustrating process of removing and reinstalling, as well as having to pay shipping without reimbursement to send this back to Corsair, then wait weeks until they send you a replacement, then avoid these Corsair coolers at all cost

Reviews around sound (2.18 of 5)

  • its a "fan blade hitting something" king of noise.this noise is most noticeable at lower RPM.. when i set the system for full load i can hear the fans perk up and get faster and faster and the noise gets a little wonky like its almost wobbling around in there then all the sudden its gone.. and the sound is smooth as butter
  • One of them worked well, and the other one made an awful noisy sound when rotating that quickly became too much to deal with, I ordered replacement fans within 2 days of acquiring this
  • strange sounds are coming out and I'm afraid something bad will happen to my system
  • But just today I pushed the fan's 100 present and 1 of the fans is making a strange, ball barring sound.
  • and I know it's the pump at this point, and the sound is absolutely excruciating

Reviews around bite (2.11 of 5)

  • My idle temp is about 35c, This is after turning the radiator fans down to around 1200 rpm (they can be a bit loud at faster speeds)
  • The magnetic fans are made of high-quality materials- Great performance for the price in terms of temps- RGB is easily customizable and is brightCons:- Fans vibrate a bit and can be a bit annoying for some (if you don't like the fan noise) but it's nothing
  • The stock fans provided can get a bit loud for my taste
  • It kinda made it a bit less quiet, but normally it didn't make a sound at first
  • I don't know if it's bad luck, but I am going to personally stick with air cooling solutions until these AIO pump technologies mature a bit

Reviews around pressure (2.03 of 5)

  • I replaced them with two Noctua NF-F12s, which have been running extremely silent, with lower RPMs and better static pressure airflow
  • I used the stock SP120 static pressure fans that came in the box
  • I replaced them with two Noctua NF-F12s, which have been running extremely silent, with lower RPMs and better static pressure airflow
  • The issue is that there is simply not enough downward pressure being generated by the pump onto the CPU when fully seated
  • Just keep in mind, that the pump is noisy, and that you will most likely be spending more for better-quality static-pressure fans (I highly recommend switching out the stock Corsair fans for something of better quality).

Reviews around pump (1.86 of 5)

  • The pump failed and so I reached out to Corsair, they accepted a return
  • I picked this up to replace a H100i v1 that stopped working - a clogged pump
  • Mine died after a little over two years of use with a 6700k, the fans were spinning but the pump must have stopped working
  • Unfortunately, 355 days after purchasing, my pump failed
  • Delivered on May 15, 2017 and the pump stopped working on 10/19/2017.

Reviews around noise (1.67 of 5)

  • If you use Corsair Link and change the Profile on Quiet Mode, the fans become quieter, the same noise as a SP120 Quiet Edition from Corsair
  • When you mount this cooler at the top of Corsair 760T case, the fans create a significant vibration and noise
  • Too late to return now as the fans started making terrible noise right outside the month window.
  • Purchase made in July 2017, by the end of November, 4 months hard, the best cooling system model 240mm quieter fans, but with less rebolutions, wow less noise, with wider radiator, I waited after your warranty of 5 years will be damaged , but that 4 months hard, is more than half a year, the pump started to make a click sound faster and stronger, until it turned off the mobo, because the temperature rose to over 50C, and so it happened for 3 weeks sometimes the sound was not
  • And 8 years before the coolant pump started making enough noise to cause me worry.

  • It produces a slight grinding noise in "Quiet" mode, and noticeably louder grinding noise in "Performance" mode

Reviews around whine (1.00 of 5)

  • So I am constantly faced with listening to the annoying whine of the fans or toggling the profile setting in Corsair Link.
  • The fans at 1800 rpms produce an annoying whine, much louder than my air cooler
  • They emit a very annoying whine when set on anything but the "quiet" profile.
