These fans come with 4 pin PWM connections as Corsair made a recent revision to the design, previously older SKUs had 3 pin fan connections with no PWM support. These fans are really high quality and all the cables are black which is nice to see.Ĭompared to the normal white or black fan designs we see I think the grey used by Corsair on the H80i is quite nice and different. The SP120L fans that are provided use a standard 25mm form factor. The included fans are Corsair SP120L fans which are derived from the Corsair SP120 fan design, specially designed and optimised for use on radiators due to their high static pressure. It is about 37mm thick and uses aluminium fins.įrom the side you can see the profile is slightly larger than a single thickness radiator but it isn’t quite a double thickness radiator either. The radiator is nothing out of the ordinary. Unlike the rather plain looking Asetek units, the piano black gloss finish on the H80i with the customisable LED lighting is just fantastic. On the other side you are provided with a Corsair Link Connector that is essentially just a micro USB 2.o connector and this goes through a provided USB 2.0 motherboard header cable. This is because this unit can use only two fans, the extra connection is for the H100i which can use up to four fans.

On the pump is two fan cable connectors (each connector does two fans) but you are only provided with one cable for the Corsair H80i. The rubber tubing also uses swivel mounts to the pump head unit and these are very durable.

I also want to upgrade everything to Alder Lake and I'm also wondering what the big 'incompatibilty' is with this cooler and the Corsair LGA1700 Retrofit Kit. Bought an H80i v2 2 years ago (2020) and never got around to installing it. The provided tubing is rubber so is very easy to flex and work with. Yeah 'Rex' (OP), I've got the exact same issue. This comes with a square of reasonable quality pre-applied thermal paste. The Corsair H80i features an all copper contact base plate on the pump head unit.

The temps are really low- 2 130 Watt CPU's running at a little over 30 degrees at full pelt. This gave me sufficient room to mount the fan & radiator but it also meant cutting into the case fittings with hand tools. The solution was to mount one of the coolers on the back of the case by removing a fan and then cutting between the 3 fan mounts on the top of the case. The radiator was either colliding with the ATX cables or the holes would not line up. No matter where I positioned the cooler assembly I could not get it to fit in one of the 120 mm radiator slots on top of the case. However I also have a large motherboard which is the ASUS Work station board which is extended ATX. I have a very large case, an old COSMOS 2.

I don't know if the supplied ready applied TIM is any good but why take the risk as I know MX-4 is really good. I scrapped off the supplied TIM & used MX-4 on the CPU. LGA2011 fitting is very easy as it just needs 4 stand offs on the LGA 2011 mounting frame- so no fiddling with the rear of the board fitting any new frames. Excellent high quality product with some caveats I purchased 2 of these coolers as part of an upgrade to fit two Intel E5 2967 CPU's.
