Corsair Introduces the Hydro Series H110 and H90 Liquid CPU Coolers
Corsair, designer of high-performance PC hardware components, today announced the Hydro Series H110 and H90 liquid CPU coolers. With huge radiator cooling surfaces areas of 280 mm and 140 mm respectively and specially designed 140 mm low-speed, high static pressure fans, the new coolers deliver superior CPU cooling and quieter operation than smaller 120 mm designs.
The Hydro Series H110 is a low-noise, high-performance liquid CPU cooler with a double-length 280 mm by 140 mm radiator. The H110 radiator's large surface area provides more contact room for heat dissipation and for side-by-side mounting of dual fans. Each fan is a specially-designed low-speed 140 mm static pressure fan, which moves much more air per decibel of noise than 120 mm fans. Combined, the larger radiators and lower fan-speeds produce better performance with much lower noise levels than smaller 120 mm dual-fan coolers. The H110 fits cases with dual 140 mm top fan mounts and 20 mm screw spacing.The Hydro Series H90, like the H110, is a low-noise, high-performance liquid CPU cooler, but with a more compact square 140 mm radiator and a single 140 mm static pressure fan. The large radiator and spacious surface area combined with lower fan-speeds produce better performance than smaller 120 mm single fan coolers with lower noise. The H90 is compatible with many cases with a rear or top 140 mm fan mount.
The Hydro Series H110 and H90 liquid coolers feature an enhanced copper cold plate with soaks up heat more efficiently than previous generation designs. Both coolers are compatible with most modern CPU platforms including AMD AM2, AM3, AM3+, FM2 and FM1 and Intel LGA 1155, LGA 1156, LGA 1366, and LGA 2011.
"Many PC enthusiasts choose liquid cooling for its extreme cooling efficiency and quiet operation," said Thi La, Senior VP and GM of Memory and Enthusiast Component Products at Corsair. "To take liquid cooling the next level, we super-sized the Hydro Series H110 and H90, providing users our best cooling-to-noise ratio ever."
Pricing and Availability
The Corsair Hydro Series H110 and Hydro Series H90 liquid coolers are immediately available from Corsair's worldwide network of resellers and distributors. Suggested retail prices in the United States are $129.99 for the H110 and $99.99 for the H90.

IMHO I would go with the kraken, cause it glows different colours, and has the control software.
I would RMA my cooler, but after reading how many people have done that and have still gotten broken parts, and since the pump still works, I'll just stay with it and get pissed every time I think about it.
Also I want to see this thing for real to be sure they didn't fuck up like NZXT with that cable squid crap.
Thats what the Swiftech is made for.
The X60 is exactly the same as H110. There is no difference. With slow speed fans, wont help if the rad is using a higher FPI. Swiftech is 12-14FPI, while the X60/H110 is 17-19FPI. That difference can be a big one.
It's not all bad in the end, but I think Corsair could have done a much better job of Quality Control.
This is to see how a novice would set it up easily for a quick OC and temps control in quiet setup.
TPU you said that it uses 20mm spacing, which incorrect. The spacing is 15mm, same as the NZXT X60. Which is what the H110 rad is based off.
Which reminds me, do these top mount AIO coolers actually function properly? Swiftech's res angles up, the res on these asetek units looks like it might not do anything in that position which might explain some of the noise issues with the pumps.
