Corsair Readies Hydro H100i Pro Cooler with Zero RPM Fan Mode

Corsair is giving finishing touches to the Hydro H100i Pro, an all-in-one liquid CPU cooler designed to one-up the Hydro H100i series. Its USP is the "zero RPM fan mode," in which a fan-controller integrated with the pump-block turns off the fans when the coolant is below a temperature threshold. Corsair believes this could help most gamers overcome their biggest gripe with liquid cooling - that the fans keep running.

The pump-block of the H100i Pro looks similar to the H100i, with its silver-finish octagonal shape, and RGB LED ornament that can be controlled by Corsair iCue software. A pair of ML120 fans are included with this cooler, to ventilate the 240 mm x 120 mm radiator. Each of these fans spin between 400 to 2,400 RPM, pushing up to 75 CFM of air, with a noise output up to 37 dBA. The cooler will support most socket types, including LGA2066, LGA115x, and AM4.

I am not much into aio. For me its either a good air cooler or custom water cooling.

HoodMost of these are decent improvements, but the choice of fans is disappointing.
I see how Corsair accomplished those noise levels - by using fans with reduced top rpm speeds. The "old" SP fans had 2000 - 2400 rpm, the good retail Corsair mag-lev fans are 2400 rpm, but the mag-levs included in these "Pro" models are only 1200 - 1600 rpm fans. Clever, Corsair. save money now with the cheaper fans, make money later by selling them the good fans. The included fans may be "good enough", and they are mag-lev, but these reduced rpm mag-lev fans are not sold separately, only with pro coolers. I'm sure most people won't notice, at least not until it's too late.
You don't want ML fans running with full speed..

I run my ML120s on my custom loop with a silent fan profile. I can take a small hit from performance, as long my PC stays quiet.
