Corsair Hydro H110i GT Cooler Starts Selling
Corsair started selling its Hydro Series H110i GT all-in-one liquid CPU cooler, which it launched at the International CES 2015, early last month. It's priced at US $129.99. The cooler consists of a new block+pump main unit, with a higher coolant pressure compared to the H105, because it's feeding coolant to a larger 280 mm x 140 mm radiator. The block features a glowing Corsair logo, with RGB multi-color illumination, which you can customize using the Corsair Link software. The cooler plugs into a USB header, in addition to power, interfacing with the Link software, letting you monitor and control its various parameters.
The H110i GT supports all modern CPU socket types, including LGA2011v3, LGA1150, AM3+, and FM2+. Also included are two Corsair SP140L PWM "high-torque" fans. These 140 mm spinners are a variant of the SP140 series, which lack LED lighting, but feature 4-pin PWM power inputs, offering speeds of up to 2,100 RPM, pushing up to 113 CFM of air, each, with a noise output of up to 43 dBA, each.

The more surface area on the radiator the more cooling power this is the simple key of watercooling.
Oxidation is imminent and will be fatal after extended operation . Copper radiator and larger flow pipe are desirable .
Though I do recall industries do melt and mix both Copper and Aluminum for purposes I am not currently aware of.

You must not read quality, accurate independent product reviews. BTW, Corsair does not produce any of their products with the possible exception of DRAM, they just re-brand them. FYI- as far as GSkill vs. Corsair DRAM, it don't mean jack in actual PC system performance. Either works just fine.
For those who don't know, these CLC/AIOs are pointless for 99% of the PC desktop market as lower costing HSFs can provide proper cooling and they never leak coolant to damage your PC. Don't get duped. Do your homework so that you are a technically educated consumer instead of a sheeple.
It's not as if there aren't ways to prevent galvanic corrosion.

Cases and SSDs are about the only thing done in house, other than their peripherals.
@bogami that looks like the worlds worst block design. Restriction is probably fairly high, and AIO liquid flow at a trickle anyways.
However, the closed loop coolers are basically straight antifreeze or at least close to a 50/50 mix like you'd find in your car, which is a massive corrosion inhibitor.Using an OEM to manufacturer the product does not make it a rebrand. I don't even believe Corsair manufacturers their own cases, the actual manufacturing is outsourced as well, AFAIK.
Even if the product is based on an OEM design, it still isn't a rebrand. Corsair adds their own design elements to the product. Seasonic is their main OEM for their high end unit, but I don't see a single Seasonic unit with Coresair link capabilities or anything even close. Also, the OEM has to go by the designed Corsair designed. Even if they are using the same platform, the Corsair unit can actually be better than the Seasonic(and vise versa) simply because Corsair decided to use different components on top of the base platform.
And other than Seasonic, most OEMs don't even sell directly to the public(at least in the US).The CX series is far from terrible. They do everything they are designed to do, and then some, at a very good price. Hell, if the CX750 can power two GTX470s, pulling enough power to melt the ATX 24-pin connector, there isn't much it can't power. And I'll put CX430s in office workstations all day long.
In fact the CX series is a great example of just because it is made by different OEM that doesn't mean it is just a rebrand. The CX series is generally made by CWT. They make a lot of crap power supplies. But the CX series is actually decent quality, some of the best quality seen from CWT, because Corsair demands it and Corsair is picking the parts.
And generally it depends on weather you can get a comparable seasonic unit for cheaper than a Corsair. The HX650 is $100 at newegg right now, and has a $20 MIR bringing it down even further. The comparable SSR-650RM from Seasonic is $95. So the Seasonic is cheaper if you don't consider the MIR but the Corsair is cheaper if you do. And which is cheaper will jump from day to day based on what kind or promotion is going on that day.
As for the others, Delta and Superflower don't sell directly to the public in the US. In fact, other than Seasonic, most other OEMs don't sell products directly to the public in the US.
Our liquid coolers typically use a Propylene Glycol / Distilled Water combination with heavy corrosion inhibitors to prevent any sort of galvanic corrosion.
Not once did Corsair fail me or anybody I recommend to use them.
Anybody can put an order to have PSU's made and branded in your logo.
Thats what i've tried to say!
But in my experience, the main problem is the radiator, the how clean it actually was... Sometimes they are poorly washed out and still have some particles in it... sometimes active metals left from the welding, soldering process.
But in the end of the story, technology still does not stop the corrosive process... it is just slower... even cars are not meant to run for decades... especially the latest crap that runs off the belt... As with most consumer devices, it made to last 24months and that's it...
Many people have very practical reasons for AIO cooling systems and custom loops, space, temperature and appearance are three reasons.
I have yet to see an AIO system leak, or a report of one.
