Finished Looks

Corsair's Hydro Series H80i GT looks great and should go well with just about any system you can build because of its neutral black and gray color theme. The mess of cables is a bit of a pain, but use a normal case and you should easily be able to route them out of sight.


The LEDs on the pump can be configured into just about any color imaginable, which will certainly help in terms of looks. Sadly, unlike their SP and AF series retail fans, the included ones do not offer the colored ring options. The gray accents on the radiator and pump are also there to stay.


Clearance around the socket is exceptional, as is the case for most AIO liquid coolers. In fact, if clearance were terrible, it would be a first, so no worries there.


The Corsair Hydro Series H80i GT does not block off any memory slots, expansions slots, or fan headers and plugs. Clearance, as I stated above, is perfect. However, keep in mind that the 49 mm thick radiator will be 99 mm thick, which is a tad under 4 inches, if paired with two 25 mm thick fans.
