Introduction

From the Corsair website:

Founded as Corsair Microsystems in 1994, Corsair originally developed Level 2 cache modules for OEMs. After Intel incorporated the L2 cache in the processor with the release of its Pentium Pro processor family, Corsair changed its focus to DRAM modules, primarily in the server market. In 2002, Corsair began shipping DRAM modules that were specifically designed to appeal to computer-overclocking enthusiasts. From its roots in high-performance memory, Corsair has expanded its award-winning product portfolio to include ultra-efficient power supplies, builder-friendly cases, ground-breaking CPU coolers, blazing-fast solid-state drives, and other key system components.

Corsair is a company every enthusiast around the world knows. They have products in nearly every conceivable category. Power supplies to keyboards and mice, heatsinks and fans, even cases and memory. They are a true market leader when it comes to PC parts and accessories—not to mention that all those great products tend to be backed by fantastic support and solid warranties. It is no wonder Corsair is so popular among today's PC enthusiasts.

Corsair's real claim to fame in the CPU cooling market has been due to their Hydro Series products. They cover nearly every segment of the market—from the H60 for entry-level systems to the H80i for those who need some extra cooling performance. Then there is, of course, the H100i: Corsair's flagship model until recently. When it comes to heatsinks and fans, Corsair really does have a product for just about everyone.

Today, I will look at Corsair's new high end product, the Hydro Series H110. This massive liquid CPU cooler is their new top-of-the-line model, and it is time to see just what this cooler offers today's enthusiasts. Will it live up to the reputation Corsair has cultivated with previous Hydro Series products by offering exceptional performance? Will it offer reduced noise levels if compared to its predecessors? I guess it is time to find out!
