Corsair Debuts Updated Hydro Series H60 and New Hydro Series H55 Liquid CPU Coolers
Corsair, a worldwide designer and supplier of high-performance components to the PC gaming hardware market, today announced an updated version of the award-winning Hydro Series H60 liquid CPU cooler, and the new Hydro Series H55 liquid CPU cooler.
The Hydro Series H55 is an update to the hugely respected Hydro Series H50, and is based on the latest, 4th generation cold-plate design. The updated version of the Hydro Series H60 takes advantage of the latest cold plate, manifold and fan technology to further increase performance and reduce noise levels.
"The Hydro Series H50 and H60 have a hard-won reputation for delivering effective, reliable, and quiet CPU cooling," said Thi La, Senior VP & GM of Memory and Enthusiast Component Products at Corsair. "These new and improved versions demonstrate Corsair's commitment to providing our customers with the latest and best integrated liquid cooling technology."
In addition to the new cold plate and manifold design, the Hydro Series H60 also utilizes larger diameter tubing, which increases the coolant flow rate and performance. The new composite rubber tubing makes installation easier, but retains the low-evaporation rates of the older, more rigid tubing, guaranteeing a long lifetime. The Hydro Series H60 also introduces a new magnetic mounting bracket, which makes it simple to select the correct motherboard socket format.
H60 Includes Fan Based on Award Winning Air Series SP120
A high-quality fan designed specifically to move air through the fins of a liquid cooling radiator is an essential part of any liquid cooling system. The new H60 includes a 120 mm fan based on the award-winning Air Series SP120. This utilizes a motor that has been specially tuned for high torque, ensuring outstanding static pressure, and consistently high performance at low noise levels.
The Hydro Series H55 is designed to provide a simple and effective upgrade from a basic CPU air cooler. The 4th generation cold plate design, and high static-pressure, low noise 120 mm fan provides great performance, while the tool-free mounting bracket and low-permeability rubber tubing makes installation simple.
Both the Hydro Series H55 and Hydro Series H60 CPU coolers are compatible with most cases that feature a rear 120 mm fan mount. Both support motherboards based on the Intel LGA115x/1366/2011, and AMD AM2/AM3/FM1 sockets, and are backed by a five year limited warranty.

25 Comments on Corsair Debuts Updated Hydro Series H60 and New Hydro Series H55 Liquid CPU Coolers
looks like H55 fan pulls through the rad.. but not sure why (?!)..
from Corsair site:hmmm..
Now, add a shroud, and pull is better in a lot of instances. Depends on the airflow characteristics of the rad. My high fin count, restrictive airflow, old-school GTX360 prefers push, my MCR320 prefers pull.
The cooler in the first image even uses thicker tubing than the standard Hydro units, and that would make twisting it even harder IMO.
Whenever I tried that for images, it either looked bad with the goofy looking twisted hose, or the kink would force the block to fall over. Hence why I mentioned that I thought it was built (possibly empty) just for imaging purposes.
I thought before something like that need for H100 Update and I write to them.
To avoid controller problem pump similar like on H60 cooler, double radiator only litter thicker, tubes like this on new coolers and on H40. Controller maybe some kind of tuner on PCI-E aero slot place than people can change speed without pay 30$ for new controller and avoid always removing side panel like on H100 now, than changing speed doesn't influence on pump grinding noise. But strong fast pump like on H60 with enough coolant. Maybe new fans similar like this on new H60. Fan and pump reading are good but pump is necessary.
I don't like this H55 but H60 is maybe nicer their Hydro Cooler, same like first H60.
CORSAIR have good approach and their design are excellent and different. I don't like maybe 10-15% all of their products...
For me they are best HW manufacturer excluding motherboard and GPU brand.
