We'll start with the H80i GT – at £80, it is one of the most expensive 120mm radiator models around, and there are actually a number of 240mm models available for less. On the plus side, it's very well built and about as easy as it gets when it comes to...

This is the sister product to the Corsair H100iGTX , with the main difference being a considerable smaller radiator. Where the H100iGTX has a large 240mm bruiser, this kit comes with a much smaller 120mm unit. As such, it could be the preferred option...

The only way I would judge this cooler negatively would be on the installation side. My first complaint really can't be held against the H80i GT or Corsair for that matter. However I must point out that installing the radiator can be a bit of trick....

Performance wise the difference between the Corsair Hydro H100i GTX and its predecessor is not a lot. Often times it manages to outperform other coolers and make its way to the top, but there are coolers that perform better at the same noise levels....

The generational performance improvement was surprising for the H100i GTX. We did not really expect it to surpass the H100i by a measurable amount, but it did. It actually surpassed the performance of much louder AIO coolers and even coolers with 280 mm...

Corsair has nailed it again with the release of the HG10 A1 GPU bracket, which is recycling the stock blower fan for optimal VRM cooling and combines it with the usage of one of the available AIO CPU coolers in order to bring excellent cooling...

I think the H80i GT is nice mid-range AIO cooler within its category, the performance difference towards its big brother, the H110i GT, is however substantial. That unit however is pretty big yet is a fit for most chassis these days. Obviously the...

For a 120mm rad based AIO the H80i GT sure is a chunky monkey. A 49mm thick radiator, coupled with a pair of 25mm thick fans brings the whole shooting match in at a mere 1mm under 10cm think. The thickness isn't the only impressive factor about the...
