Have this cooling an Intel 10700K and have been OC'ing it, hands down a great closed loop cooler.
The installation was amazingly easy.
The fans are whisper quiet and even when they spin up durring OC are not super loud.
The iCue software and color control is icing on the cake.

Purchased for use in my Ryzen 3600 system upgrade and so far very pleased with the results. 5 stars despite the cons.
Lowered cpu temps both at idle and under load by over 20c. After 3 hours OCCT Linpack with all cores at 3.9 ghz temps maxed out at 54c vs 85c plus with included Wraith Stealth cooler.
One caveat however, I also purchased the Corsair Icue 220T Airflow case to use with this unit which is supposedly compatible with the H100i & the H115i. Thing is the 100i uses 120mm fans and if installed on the top it overlaps the DIMM slots with approx 2-3mm clearance while the H115i uses 140mm fans and will not fit on the top of this case, front mount only. Frankly Corsair I expected better for the price.
Also note that between the pump, the fans and the RGB you will be doing a LOT of creative cable management.
Bottom line if you go with one of these you'll ultimately be happy with the performance however be sure to plan your build accordingly.

Installation was very easy (MOBO ASUS Maximus Hero XII, case Corsair 750D). Thermal paste was great, with no need to use an after-market one. Silent and efficient, as expected. I'd recommend it to a friend.

Seems to be cooling my CPU quite well, although I haven't benchmarked it. Run quietly, but still trying to find a way to control the LEDs.
Install was finicky, but that was likely my fault and not an issue with the part. Rather irksome that the part has pre-installed termal compound pad rather than including thermal paste to apply.

The cooler keeps my cpu at a 33-45 degree c. Even when I’m gaming it still does it’s job. What’s even better is the rgb lighting. Being able to control the cooler to what you want is even better. So I’m really satisfied that I got this and it makes my pc looks even better

Installation was a breeze!! Before I used an AMD stock cooler by idle temps were hovering around 50C. Gaming would spike up to 80-90. After installing this AIO my idle temps are around 35C! Gaming would stay around 55-65. Highly recommend

This CPU Liquid Cooling system performs well as long as your case has good cooling. The LEDs are highly customizable using the Corsair iCue software and they are pretty nice when lit! I love how the CPU block is lit up too, and can match to the cooling fans on the radiator.

This is my first time having an AIO cooler, so my experience and comparisons are limited. Since building my new PC, this thing has been lit up the whole time and recently just had its first case of minor sputtering (which is apparently tied to some direct mobo power supply). As for performance, it does its job, I haven't stressed it much, but it runs very quiet and I can barely hear it running when playing not really demanding games like Rocket League and World of Tanks on max settings.
Should I eventually upgrade and get a bigger GPU, better CPU, and be in need of more cooling, I'd definitely consider sticking with Corsair and going up the food chain.
Also, it does come with some thermal compound pre-applied (looked like a pad to me but my friend who helped me install it said it was paste).

this AIO was easy to install and works. The CUE software that controls the RGB is simple to use, however it is not available on Linux. There is open source software for Corsair RGB keyboards, but it does not provide support for in case RGB.

Very good AIO, I use it with a Ryzen 7 3700x and my temps are between 35 degrees when Idle and I've never seen it go above 65 under full load.
My only complaint is the iCUE software needed to manage the lightning, Corsair please fix your software!

The Corsair H100i is truly a great product. Not only does it effectively cool the CPU, but it does it in style. For smaller builds, this is a perfect cooler, especially when interior space is at a premium. Try one, you'll like it!!

The rgb on this looks really good and the cooling is perfect as well it keeps my cpu temp around 35-37C which is just right. Only thing that i had difficulty with was the installation process, you need a big screwdriver for this

Kept the 5.2GHZ I7-10700k overclock nice and cool. Was very surprised at the quality and the RGB lighting. I would recommend Arctic MX-4 thermal compound to keep it even cooler. I only returned this bc my case was way too old.

Got it to upgrade from my old Cryorig air cooler. It works well and the RBG is a nice addition. Hopefully it'll fit on the Ryzen 4000 series since I'm planning to do a new PC build soon, but I don't think I'll have any problems.

Overall value is there, if you like the RGB, fan noise and control, it's there and works great. However, had I known you can get the non RGB version which is simpler to install and saves $40, I'd go for that. Same cooler and design sans RGB.

Wraith prism needed thermal paste replacement after 4 days of use. Due to the complexity and how hard I would have had to press on the clips for the stock cooler that comes with 3800x I decided to use a Corsair H60 from previous pc build leaving that one unusable. Temps were 48 c idle 72-74C full load with rendering on resolve free version. The pc without the cooler needed to be used so I came to best buy the h110i platinum was the only available purchase. Easy install except the case needed to be modified for front install. The temps 75 degree house on a auto clocked 1.3 make sure to undervolt the 3800x push pull fans plus 4 case fans 38c idle web browsing streaming light work not much difference from idle 100% load for 1 hour render 62-64c gaming temps 45-50c depending on game.

Super simple and easy to install. Everything is pretty straightforward, and looks great. The only difficult part is cable management as there are a lot of cables to be messing with but other than that a great system

Never thought I would install a liquid cool system but I did and wow! My overclocked CPU runs cool all the time now and the RGB lights adds life to my case. I would buy it all over again if I could!

This cooler has worked like a charm to keep my gaming rig cool and the LED effect is a nice added bonus. The radiation was easy to install and set up even if you have never done so before.
