INTRODUCTION
Regular CPU Air Cooler sales may still be holding well largely thanks to consumers on a tight budget who are not really looking to get the best possible cooling efficiency for their systems but AIO (all-in-one) models continue to gain ground and so it makes sense that most manufacturers keep enriching their product lines with new models. The continuously increasing popularity of RGB lighting (and RGB peripherals and components in general) is also part of the reason for this since gamers and enthusiasts are not only into high performance but also looks. CORSAIR recently introduced two new models in their growing line of RGB AIO liquid CPU coolers (360mm H150i Pro RGB / 280mm H115i Pro RGB) and after numerous awards (not to mention impressive sales numbers) today they released their smaller brother the H100i Pro RGB Low Noise 240mm RGB Liquid CPU Cooler.
Founded in 1994, CORSAIR supplies high-performance products purchased primarily by PC gaming enthusiasts who build their own PCs or buy pre-assembled customized systems. The company's award-winning products include DDR3 and DDR4 memory upgrades, computer cases, PC cooling products, gaming headsets, gaming keyboards, gaming mice, power supply units, USB flash drives, solid-state drives and system monitoring and control devices.
Much like the dual 140mm fan H115i Pro RGB model the H100i Pro RGB is also a dual fan model (just like its predecessors it's also manufactured by Asetek) this time however thanks to the 120mm fans and effectively smaller size (both in length and width) the H100i Pro RGB features a much higher compatibility with PC cases. Again like both of its predecessors (115i/150i Pro RGB) the H100i Pro RGB was also designed for almost inaudible operation and although the high-speed/performance ML120 magnetic levitation PWM fans should be quite noisy at maximum speed (2400RPM/75CFM/4.2mmH2O/37dBA) thanks to the Zero RPM, quiet and balanced modes offered by CORSAIR's control software they can also be quite inaudible. The two 120mm fans are paired with a 276mm long and 27mm thick radiator, 350mm long black sleeved low permeability tubes, high-performance pump (up to 2850RPM - identical model as the one used in the H115i/H150i Pro RGB) with a top temperature controlled RGB LED and an all-copper base (coldplate). Also just like the H115i/H150i Pro RGB models via CORSAIR's control software (LINK/iCUE) you can customize lighting, monitor temperatures and precisely adjust pump and fan speeds or stop cooling fans entirely via the Zero RPM fan mode (can be activated at low temperatures). Last but not least just like its predecessors CORSAIR covers the H100i Pro RGB Low Noise 240mm RGB Liquid CPU Cooler with 5 year limited warranty.
