Both include a low-profile, light-weight cooling unit with a micro-channel copper cold plate and a split-flow manifold for superior cooling. They also include digital fan control, allowing the user to select between quit, balanced, and performance cooling profiles. The H80 includes a double-thick 120mm radiator for compatibility with virtually all standard ATX PC cases. The top-of-the-line H100 uses a dual 120mm radiator for even better performance, and is compatible with PC cases that provide mounting capability for a standard 240mm radiator.

It won't kill the RASA240, though. I doubt it can match its performance, and the RASA is more intended for those who want to dive into watercooling while not having to mix and match parts (yet retain the option to upgrade parts of the loop later on as they get more experience). The H100 is a quick out-of-the-box solution which cannot be upgraded.
I do think I'll pick one of these up at Microcenter when I am in the states in late August. I want one of these for my i7 975 and a dual rad fits perfectly on the bottom of the Xaser VI.
I miss my water but hated to keeping up with a loop all the time. This closed loop system with 240 rad will be interesting to see performance tests
Meh. they are probably the same product anyway only difference is the Corsair has a square pump
Doesnt go over 45'c when gaming.
Only time it did that was when it was hot and ambient temps was at 27-30'c in my room normally my room is between 20-23'c.
I tend to keep fan rpm hovering just over 1000RPM for airflow purposes otherwise the 200mm fan on the top of my case still pulls its weight.
the only question is do we put the fans inside that top internal part, or put the rad there? decisions decisions.
I lol'ed
There are a few cases that have the correct spacing, but only the very new ones, so why didn't they came up with dual 140mm rads? Those can also the thinner and use lower RPM 140mm fans that would be quieter.I'm in the exact same boat. I don't think it will, the rad is 27mm thick, the fans are 25mm and the screw heads will add let's say ~3mm depending on which side you mount the fans. So you need at least 55mm of space between the top of the case and the motherboard (the mosfet radiators and/or RAM).
Perhaps they'll come out with a 120 that does. Edit : Model number would be better as 140 to avoid confusion!
