Review on 💦 Corsair Hydro Series H60 Liquid CPU Cooler - 120mm Radiator & SP Series PWM Fan for Enhanced Performance by Eric Power

Let me start by saying I've always been skeptical about buying water cooling. I've heard too many horror stories ranging from "The pump broke and my CPU is overheating" to "It was leaking and leaking all over my GPU". Well I tried my best with air cooling before finally giving up and going with water cooling. Corsair had the best reviews so I went with them. After installing my water cooler I found that this is not the tool advertised. You will need at least a Phillips screwdriver. Pros: - Excellent cooling, very low temperatures. - Very quiet, you don't notice any difference to a normal CPU fan. - The software is very easy to use and highly customizable. - The USB slot is located at the bottom of the pump instead of at the top, which offers more space for installation. - The price is very competitive. Cons: - This thing is huge despite being twice the thickness to compensate for the small size which is massive. I couldn't mount it on the back or top of the case and in the end I had to give up and only put 1 fan instead of the 2 that came with it because I just couldn't fit it in the case. And the tubes are huge too, making it difficult to maneuver properly in the case. - The LED on the pump is a little dim for my liking, I wish it was a little brighter. In general, if you have room for the H100, I'd recommend that it give you more room to work in the case. But it offers great cooling and a really great price.
