    Cooled my i7 8700 CPU very well

    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.

    Great AIO option for Alienware R12 owners

    After researching for a new scarcely available PC with a 3080 I was able to get my hands on a new Aurora R12 with a 3080 card that didn't break the bank too much but it came with a fan cooled CPU. I found out many had recommended the H60 which works with the R12 so I went with it. I ran the CPU cooled fan a bit for baseline with Warzone and Halo on max setting and the fans sounded like a turbo prop aircraft on take off and was barely keeping it around 90C and around 50 C while idle or web surfing. Installation wasn't difficult and I'm not a PC builder but am sonewhat familiar with the internal workings of a PC. The instructions included are somewhat inaccurate for this particular setup since you have limited space, mainly the fan configuration and cooling pump plug in location. The cooling pump cable will need to be plugged into the Fan CPU port as shown in my picture, this will avoid BIOS error during boot up. It'll show around 90 to 95% speed on the ACC software which is fairly accurate, the Corsair max is 4000 RPM compared to the 4400 OEM fan. Orientation of the hose worked best for me as shown in the picture with hoses down and swept towards the rear end of the PC. Also will need a VRM heatsink which are readily available online since the MB doesn't come with one if the PC originally came with a CPU fan which performed that duty as well. After installation my temperature runs on average 10 C cooler now at 37 C idle or low usage to 79 C while playing Warzone and Halo on max and my PC doesn't sound like it wants to fly away anymore.

    This is a 120mm cooler meaning its only 1 fan sized. I use this currently to cool my i7 10700k thats overclocked to 5.0 GHz and it easily handles the high temps and keeps it in check. Its a closed system meaning that when you pull it out of the box its already good to use. It already has liquid inside of it and its factory sealed. Its not likely to leak so you can rest easy. Just follow the instructions to install it and youre good to go.

    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.

    One of my passionate hobbies is salvaging, then utilizing older technology to its full potential. This critique is one of an all-out go with no fancy lighted show, essential PC component of Corsair's radiator cooler in smaller version specifically ideal for mid-towers and those instances of limited space with lowering CPU thermals in this case of a much needed aging i7 dinosaur (think gen 6) that continually Folds 24/7 nonstop. Before, temps hovered around high 60 c and occasionally upper 70 c even without over nor turbo clock and stock cooler. Now quite manageable and reasonable liquid cooled, low to mid 50's at full load working three puny yet somewhat effective Cuda Core 1030 GPU's with turbo on and benched stable/efficient overclock of 1 Ghz. No issues so far with this (or these) products whatsoever. So satisfied, bought another for an ancient AMD Deneb setup that had the same problemo running hot temps which also Folds all the time without any other concerns other than lowering thermals. For the record, also bought a Corsair 1,000w PSU recently and before then their memory some ten years back which both still performs flawlessly and effortlessly. Perhaps Corsair is really onto something, mainly in the serious business of building more quality products built to last. So far, so good... Cheers Corsair! Now we'll just have to wait and see about typical real-world performance through over-all longevity in the long haul and for the ultimate win, which from past experience also looks very promising.

    Great cooling compared to the stock air cooler

    I have an alienware R9 with the stock air cooler on my intel 9700 cpu. My temps with the stock air cooler would reach 80°C to 90°C playing games. My fans would be running fast and loud as many would understand if you are a gamer of long sessions with the alienware R 7,8,9 series with stock air cpu coolers. Replacing the top fan with the radiator/fan combo fits perfectly but the hoses must face the front because you will need to bolt it from the top of the case and the bolt pattern of the radiator and the case makes it only go in one way to secure it. The CPU cooler I had to figure out the best way to route the hoses to make the tight PSU to close. I will add pictures to show the best way I found to route the hoses and not to be in the way of your memory. I added zip ties to help keep the hoses from rubbing that heat sink left of the cpu. I did run some CPU stress test and my temps are now around 65°C instead of 80°C+.

    Its a decent price and decent performance. Pump has a maximum rpm of around 4400-4500. Not too much noise and manages to keep up with a zen 3 cpu. Includes all the necessary mounting hardware. Overall. Highly recommend this product. But a H100i would probably be a better option

    Brought my CPU temps down significantly. I was getting between 75*C-85*C on certain games and now it rarely gets above 55*C. Plus it’s such an incredibly easy install. Definitely worth the $70 price tag.

    I have been playing video games since the Atari 2600. I am a gamer but I have always bought pre-build PC's/ I do not know the ins and outs of it. Let me say that these are nearly as easy to install as an SSD into an M.2 slot, well almost as easy. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. Its as simple as that. Very satisfied with these. My PC's went from running from 72 - 76c down to 50 - 56c temps. Idle temps from 36c down to 23c. Thanks Corsair and Best Buy!

    Used this to take place of an air cooler that wouldn't fit on my new motherboard/ram combo. Cools a non x i7-8700 very well. Never get above 57c in a 65f room. Gaming, or VR it has very stable temps, usually low 50s. Very easy to mount and low profile block work well and look decent.

    My stock CPU Air cooler just wasn’t cutting it. Idle temps around 55C and gaming on major titles like Apex Legends was pushing it 85C and over. HP advertises the Omen Obelisk as “upgradable” which is true, but slightly more difficult than custom builds. Idle temps fell to low 30’s, while playing Apex it never goes over 55C, so that’s a 20-30 degree difference. Installation was overall simple. Taking the motherboard out and changing the backplate was not difficult at all, just take your time.

    Bet 120mm aio there is. Of course if u have the space for something bigger def don't go with this. But if ur working with limited space like I am this is perfect. Not only was I able to replace my original aio I was able to to add another fan for a push pull configuration. It stays way cooler now by dropping my average thermals by 20 degrees Celsius.

    The only issue I had was not even the water cooler I have a mini atx board and my case doesn't have a slot to view the back of the MB so everything had to come out to install the intel bracket. Otherwise this is easy to install directions are fairly easy to understand. I'm running a I7 8700 CPU and was hitting average 90-95 playing games. Now they are not going over 74 well worth the price for a 20-25 degree drop in temp.

    Fits in my Alienware R12 pretty well and it drops the CPU temperature significantly from 100C to around 60-65C under street testing. I put both fans on the top (this fan and the original top fan). No matter how I stress test the CPU, the CPU fan rotates under 25%, almost silent. And the temperature is pretty low. Very satisfied with the results.

    Average temps on my Intel i7 9700K is 65c-78c I suppose if I had a bigger one it would stay cooler. My Ryzen 7 2700x with the stock cooler was about the same so.... Meh Easy to install though. They have adjustable slides for the motherboard in case the default placement didn't fit
