It’s not without compromises, which we’ll cover in the conclusion. The potential spoiler in the midst of these results is the Silver Arrow, once again coming very close to the H100 at a lower price.
The cooling advantage of the H100 on the high setting does come at a penalty though it's substantially louder as you'll see next in the noise test. The H60 falls 5.1C shy of the H80-not terrible considering its slimmer radiator and single fan design. The H100 is the runaway leader here, sporting a comfortable 3.3C lead over the H80. Also note that the stock Intel cooler didn’t handle the 4.8GHz load reliably, so we don’t have results for it in this chart. Now that we're overclocked to 4.8GHz, these coolers are finally showing a temperature difference worthy of their price difference. This keeps those coolers relatively quiet even when running on high or medium at stock speeds. Due to the relativity cool temperatures during this test, some of the speed profiles for the H80 and H100 never hit their maximum RPM. Not surprisingly, all of the aftermarket coolers simply crush the stock Intel cooler however, it’s also worth nothing that the Silver Arrow outperforms both the H60 and H80, and nips at the heels of the H100 set to Medium fan speed.
Corsair h50 vs h60 series#
The stock speed test doesn't provide much of a challenge for any of the Hydro Series coolers, leaving very little gap between them. We’ll start with our stock 3.5GHz test results and then move to the overclocked results. All three of the H80 and H100 speed settings are tested. Since the H60 has a PWM fan, we disabled any BIOS fan controls to ensure the fan was spinning at 100%. The top cover didn't affect our other tests and was left on for those. We had to leave the top cover off of our 600T chassis during the H100 tests due to its restrictive design otherwise the H100 results would have been horrendously skewed. I'm going to wait for some solid reviews, hopefully from, and if they do better than the h70, i'll be selling my h70 for an 80.Each Corsair Hydro Series cooler is mounted to blow air from outside the case over the radiator. I'm not going to lie, mounting the h70 is annoying.
Furthermore, the compatibility with corsair link means you can control fan speeds from your computer instead of having to have a hole in your case to reach in and click the button.Īnd the second, minor upside, is the easier mounting system. Therefore your cooling and noise levels can change on demand. The upside (and it is a juicy upside) is that you can set fan speeds on the h80 just by clicking a button, where you have to switch resistors for the h70. Therefore, it is my speculation that it will under-perform or be on par with the h70 at low speed, with lower noise, then over perform in both medium and high speed modes with a ton more noise. H80 - 2500, 2000, 1300 rpm by using the button mounted on the water block portion. H70 - 2000 rpm stock, 1600rpm with supplied resistors However, it runs them at different speeds than the h70, and therefore likely to have different noise levels.
