Corsair Releases the Hydro Series H5 SF Low-Profile Liquid CPU Cooler

Corsair, a world leader in closed-loop liquid cooling systems, today announced the release of its first low-profile liquid CPU cooler, the Hydro Series H5 SF, bringing the quiet and efficient benefits of liquid cooling to the smallest of PCs. Mounting to any Mini-ITX motherboard and equipped with a specially tuned low-noise blower fan, the H5 SF is able to cool even an overclocked CPU within the confines of the most compact small form factor cases.

Further expanding Corsair's best-selling Hydro series line of liquid CPU coolers, the H5 SF is Corsair's first liquid cooler designed specifically to meet the thermal demands of small form factor PCs. Easy to install and just 84mm tall, the H5 SF is compact enough to fit inside the most confined PC case , yet still offers up to 150 W of heat dissipation, enough to cool today's demanding high-end CPUs with overclocking headroom to spare.
The all-new design fits directly on top of any Mini-ITX motherboard with no need to attach the H5 SF to any external fan mounts or brackets, maximizing compatibility across a wide range of Mini-ITX and small form factor cases. A high-performance copper cold plate efficiently draws heat away from the CPU, where it's then transferred into the integrated 120 mm x 40 mm radiator and exhausted by the H5 SF's low-noise tuned 120 mm blower fan. What's more, the H5 SF's blower fan also draws air over other heat producing motherboard components such as VRMs and chipset heatsinks, helping to keep your whole system cool.

Fully compatible with Corsair's Obsidian Series 250D, Carbide Series Air 240, and Graphite Series 380T cases, the H5 SF is also critical to Corsair's upcoming Bulldog chassis, allowing the new case to deliver low-noise, 4K living room gaming without compromising CPU choice. Now enthusiasts can take advantage of Bulldog's H5 SF cooling for themselves and fit even the most demanding of CPUs, into the smallest of cases.

Available immediately from Corsair's world-wide network of retailers and distributors, the H5 SF is backed by a comprehensive five year warranty and Corsair's world-wide customer support network.

Those pumps of Corsair are like toys, they just dont last and the performance is not worthy

There are already air coolers for that concept and they are more secure and efficient

I have had already 2 Corsair AIO crap settings and the issue with leds, temps, noise and pumps
are not worthy. This products are NOT for high end users that let their PC working long hours

The fan sucking warm mobo air from BELOW? Why not on TOP, thus getting fresher air? And how to know it is clean? Is this for the cat not getting sucked in?

its not a bad idea actually, as it helps to directly exhaust warm air from inside the case, in fact, as long as there are decent amount of airflow across the fins the temperature of the air itself is quite insignificant.

I've used plenty of corsair AIO cooling products - all working as expected, and for long hours too(you see how personal experience can differ from person to person?). You are also mistaken if you think Corsair makes their own pumps. In fact their are only really two or three OEMs that makes all of the different branded AIO stuff, looks like you haven't done your research dude. So posts like these can only be seen as trolling.

This is for small factor tightly packed cases. Usually there will be a side panel right above the top of the cooler.
