Many also praise its quiet operation and good build quality, although some users mention challenges with the software and cable management. A few users noted compatibility concerns depending on the case and motherboard used. The size of the cooler was also a point of discussion for some customers.

    I received one DOA. The usb connector on the cpu cooling block fell into the block. Had to exchange for another one which was extremely inconvenient. Replacement unit has been working great. Thanks Best Buy with easy exchange.

    I never believed stories like this till it happened to me. So I upgraded my cooling to a Corsair h100i and it was running great for 2 weeks. Today I turned on my computer and it was making a really loud grindy noise, consistently. Which I never had happen before. I then remove the unit from my rig and right as I'm taking the radiator out of my rig water pours out of the side of it, all over the floor. Luckily it seems my hardware is fine, as it poured out in the opposite direction away from my rig.. I am absolutely shook and almost lost my ~$1700 rig. I was extremely careful and know it was not user error. AVOID this like the plague

    Some LEDs went out. My CPU has gone a bit a higher. Updates messes with your settings. And bubble noises in performance mode. This is all in just one year of use. Not a good CPU Cooler for long term use.

      Hi Johnathon999,

      The included fans for this cooler connect to direct extensions coming from the radiator. If you need a hub, you may have a unique use case and may want to reach out to our support team for further assistance: support.corsair.com

    Came and worked fine for 2 hours shut down pc for night and on boot this failed to power up. Fortunately I shut down pc at night, as the processor hit 80 degrees celsius at idle. Even with the cautionary shut down, there was the potential for damage to the processor if it had hit up to 90 degrees. Corsair told me a 2 week turnaround for a replacement. Fortunately with Bestbuy extended returns I returned it and bought an elite as a replacement. The elite works great. I gave its replacement a 5 star review, and I realize that things happen, but with my particular unit it was dead in a few hours and could have caused damage.

    Missing Screws and USB Cable

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was super excited to build my new pc, but I couldn't get this cooler installed because it had MISSING THUMB SCREWS and a MISSING USB CABLE! This makes this product completely unusable. I can't even find a workaround since these thumb screws are very specific to this product, so I can't just go to a store and get a replacement. Even if I found screws, I wouldn't be able to get the lighting to work since they forgot the usb cable too. Now I have my entire pc build delayed because of this.
