CORSAIR - Hydro Series 120mm Radiator CPU Liquid Cooling System - Black

Buying the Corsair Hydro H60 AIO watercooler kit for my HP Omen gaming desktop was a fantastic choice~! The stock Intel fan just wasn't powerful enough to keep the CPU temperature low during long gaming sessions playing Resident Evil 2 Remake, Metro Exodus, and Far Cry 5 New Dawn. With the OEM CPU heatsink and fan, my Core i7 8700 reached temperatures as high as 97 C~! And at that temperature level, the stock fan was spinning so fast, it was very loud and distracting that I had to wear headphones. After installing the Hydro H60 and playing the same games at the same room temperature, my CPU temperature dropped down to 74 C max (when playing Far Cry 5 New Dawn). On certain games, such as Resident Evil 2 Remake, the CPU never became hotter than 66 C. Depending on the game, my max CPU temperature varied. When playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider, for instance, my max CPU temperature was 70 C. My idle temperatures experienced great benefits as well. It went from 48 C on the stock HSF down to 29 C on the Hydro H60. Besides HUGE temperature improvements, I also experienced great acoustic improvements. Although the Hydro H60 radiator fan isn't super quiet at max speed, it was still much quieter than the stock HSF. I made the Hydro H60 even quieter by replacing the stock 120mm Corsair fan with the 120mm Noctua NF-P12 fan. As a result, my system became even quieter and the cooling performance improved by about 2 C. Not a huge difference but still appreciated. All in all, this is a great product with excellent cooling performance and easy installation. _____ *Pros: -Way better than stock Intel heatsink and fan (HSF). 97 C --> 74 C (when playing Far Cry 5 New Dawn). -Way better idle temperatures - 48 C to 29 C. -Easy to install. -Stock 120mm radiator fan is almost as good as a more expensive Noctua NF-P12 fan. -Very quiet operation (when not at full load). -Good size for small & compact PC cases where a HUGE aircooler just won't fit. -Good value. -Easy to replace stock 120mm fan with a different one. -Great warranty period (5- years). _____ *Neutral: -The stock Corsair fan is a bit loud at full speed. _____ *Cons: -None

I have a few big windows in my room that take in sun all day long so my room is normally pretty warm, making my PC run at slightly higher temps than I liked. With that, the fans run high and create quite a bit of noise. This Corsair liquid cooling system was the perfect step up from my previous air cooler. The CPU stays nice and cool and the noise level seems to have almost been cut in half while running under full load, and there's almost no noise while doing simple tasks like browsing the internet or streaming TV/movies. My PC is a pre-built so I had absolutely no prior experience taking apart a PC to any extent. All it took was a short youtube video to explain how to safely remove my motherboard and the rest of the installation was quite simple. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a simple liquid cooling system without breaking the bank.

Purchased as a replacement for a Cryorig 120mm tower cooler due to air flow issues in the NZXT H510 mid-tower case. Using the H60v2 AIO with 4 other fans in the above listed case, (3 total intake, AIO and 1 additional 120mm fan in exhaust) has CPU temps very acceptable. CPU is a Ryzen 5-3600, OC’d to 4.4Ghz all core, 1.37v, Infinifabric set to 1700Mhz. Temps under 100% utilization for 60 minutes never exceeded 68c. Room ambient temp was 22c at 40% humidity.

I have a Ryzen 5 3600x in my current build, and I was regularly getting temperatures of 85+C under full load with the stock cooler, which I was not happy with. I was worried about the complexity of swapping the cooler out, but I found the process to be relatively easy and simple, and everything worked perfectly right out of the box. I now have yet to see a temp above 70, even under full load or playing AAA game titles. Would highly recommend to anyone building a mid-range PC. NOTE: I did not use the 120mm fan included in the case and instead used a Noctua fan previously acquired so I cannot attest to the noise the stock fan makes. However I'm sure the cooling performance on the radiator is comparable.

I installed the H-60 into my alienware aurora R8 as an upgrade from the standard air cooler the install went super easy and it has improved my temps a lot i have no more issues of my fans speeding up and it stays really quiet while gaming i would highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a good liquid cooler and is hurting on the space

I purchased this CPU cooler for my future build. The package came in about 24 hours after I placed the order, so hats off to Best Buy for fast shipping. Corsair is a well respected brand and I wanted to go liquid for that project. However, something made me return this back to Best Buy. This Corsair H60 AIO cooler has been redesigned more than a year and a half ago, at the beginning of 2018. I don't know how Best Buy is still selling the older version of it. I took one star because of it. Would I recommend it ? Definitely ! I decided to return it and purchase the newer version of it (also named H60...yes, strange) because of some updated copper plate and thermals. If you don't care about this thing, I still recommend this product.

I'm replacing one that has been running for 8 years with the exact same one!

I had my doubts and this was an impulse buy but it looks amazing and performs great too.
