What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Cooler keeps my 6 core i7 at a nice 25-30 degrees c when idle and the temperature does not get much higher than that when doing more intensive tasks. Running stable at 4ghz with idle temps at 34oc and around 65oc under heavy load.
The radiator and fans are easy to install. The corsair link software is the best part of the package.
Noctua nf-f12pwm case fan 120 mm. Extremely quiet, the cooling is awesome! The only slight negative is that the fans, whilst performing a good job of cooling, are a little bit on the noisy side.
Cons
Corsair h80igt cooler is not compatible with top mounted psu as the fitting of the cooler severly restricts air flow to psu. The corsair link software is terrible too.
Highlights
Quality
For reference i have used this product for 6 months and have had no problems with the hardware to date
Easy to fit in the corsair air 240 and runs so silently even with the side off
The cooler has a terrible brittle and low quality backplate which kept snapping this annoyed me greatly but was able to get it ... Read More
However i would expect that most people would upgrade to higher quality fans anyway
Packaging/appearance
Very good packaging it came in too
Competitiveness
Working great cooling my fx9590 cpu highly recommended
I have it running stable at 4ghz with idle temps at 34oc and around 65oc under heavy load
I have an amd8350 4ghz and at 100 load mouted at the top of a corsair 750d temps never get above 35c
Replaced the stock fans with noctua ns series which tick over at 280rpm so much quieter

I can safely say it has smashed it

Recently i purchased 2 more 140mm fans to go on the other side of the 280mm radiator currently all secured by 2 screws as only 8 total came with the cooler and i can say that in most cases my cpu now only reaches 36 degrees under load and idles below register due to dodgy amd temperature algorithms around 22 degrees by corsairs judgement

I also run these temperatures on the pumps quiet mode because otherwise the pump is louder than the 7 fans in my case while idling or doing light work
