It is easy to see with this H80i GT, that while compact compared to other sealed loop offerings, Corsair definitely splurged where at all possible to bring forth a serious contender for your hard earned dollars. The included fans are 120mm fans that are 25mm thick, and offers speeds of 2435 RPM, delivering 70.69CFM and an astonishing 4.65mmH20 of pressure. We are then told that this radiator is 154mm tall, 123mm wide, and is 49mm in thickness. Here we see everything that comes in the box, from the cooler to the fans, on down to the hardware and pre-applied thermal paste. Now if you are to scroll all the way to the bottom of the main page, you are then shown this chart as the specifications. Not only due to the sleek and new and improved styling all around this AIO, but more importantly for the massive boost in efficiency we see. Seeing what we have on the box, online, and with the testing behind us, we are sure that this H80i GT from Corsair will be turning some heads.
Corsair hydro series h80i v2 installation how to#
Not only does this system take full advantage of every opportunity given to them as a choice of how to improve things, being in the Hydro series with an "i" designation also means we get the full advantages of the Corsair Link software and within just a few clicks, you can have full control over fans, the pump, and even LED lighting since in this version the Corsair name on the head unit is backlit. Today, we are looking at the smallest offering in the new Hydro series lineup with the H80i GT. Then, of course, you have the fans, and here Corsair searched for a while and found some real power houses to pair up with this design. Then we run into the radiator, and again we see time and time again that we get the same FPI offerings and the same thicknesses, but Corsair did opt for the thicker radiator in this latest cooler. Thinner tubing will create more pressure as it is forced through it, but as you widen the ID of the tubing, you are able to move more coolant in the same amount of time, and is one thing that Corsair was sure to address. There is the head unit with the pump and cold plate, and here we find an industry standard offered as we see nothing showing manufacturers are replacing either of those components. The issue with an AIO is that it has only four components to fiddle with to make improvements. You also don't get any extra thermal paste, so if you ever need to remount that'll be an extra expense.With what we have gathered, Corsair sort of took this last series releases as a no holds barred match against all other seal loop AIOs out there on the market. For the cost, we'd expect a metal backplate, not a plastic one, although we can't deny that it serves its purpose. All in all, it's extremely easy, and installing the pump is also tool-free, though you can tighten the screws with a screwdriver, which you'll also need when securing the radiator and fans. After that, you simply align the pump unit with the screws (thermal paste is pre-applied) and secure it with four thumbscrews – the pump unit has the Intel mounting bracket pre-attached but it's easy to twist off and replace it with the AMD one if necessary. The first step is to attach the double-sided mounting screws – either to the default AMD backplate, directly to the LGA2011 or LGA2011-v3 socket or, for all other Intel users, to the supplied plastic backplate which has pre-attached standoffs. Installation is very easy regardless of socket. That said, the coolers function fully as plug and play devices.Ĭlick to enlarge - The H80i GT's pump unit is the same as the H100i GTX's There's also an onboard mini-USB connector, which you can hook up to a USB 2 header on your motherboard using the supplied cable for pump, fan and LED software control using Corsair Link. This is a neat design as it means you only need one header to power everything. It has two captive cables, one 3-pin header that you connect directly to your motherboard's CPU fan header and a second that ends in two female 4-pin connectors, to which you connect the fans. The logo has an RGB LED behind it and as usual, the unit makes use of a copper contact plate. The low-profile pump unit has a plastic cover but is a fairly sturdy affair nonetheless. They fans sport seven wide blades designed to provide lots of static pressure and their 4-pin connector is found at the end of a flat black cable. Similarly, this means the H80i GT has a push-pull design, while it's push or pull only for the H100i GTX unless you add two more fans. Both coolers are supplied with two of Corsair's SP120L PWM fans, the same as those used in the H75 and H105.
