Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| Corsairs H100i closed-loop watercooler was really able to convince us. Not only the performance were excellent, the build quality as well as the noise level was very good too. It really doesn't matter what you're looking at when you have the H100i in your hands. The only thing that could have been done better is the surface of the cooling block. This one could have been mirror lapped, altough that would be only for the looks and doesn't affect the cooling performance. Also the pump has been a great choice, since it's only causing a very silent humming noise, which you won't hear, when it's in a case. | - Cooling

| Installation | + | - | |
| The installation process is very easy and there are very few coolers, which are easier to install. If you decide to buy such an all-in-one watercooler, first you should make sure, that your case offers plenty of space for a 240 millimeter radiator. | -
Super easy
- Compatible with Intel and AMD sockets |

| Performance | + | - | |
| During our tests we used the Corsair fans, which were included in delivery. If you drive these 120 millimeter fans at 7 Volt they are silent and at 12 Volt (2'700 rpm) they can be described as very loud. A closer look at the test results shows that the H100i shows excellent cooling capabilites at 12 Volt as well as at 7 Volt. | -
Excellent cooling
capacity
- 4-Pin PWM |
- Noise level at max rpm | |
| Recommendation | + | - | |
| If you should be thinking about buying an all-in-one watercooler and you have a case that can house a 240 millimeter radiator, then the H100i from Corsair is a great choice. Last but not least about 100 Euro is an attractive price tag for such a product. |
