If anyone has one of these yet or when they do could you let us know how they are or give us some feedback.
I know out runs two fans as well and the haf x had a perfect placement for it Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
OC'ed 1366 kicks out some serious heat, im pushing the absolute limit with my h70 to keep a 4.2GHz OC
See my sig mate. I already know they will but the h100 might allow more headroom or same clocks for lower temps and greater CPU lifespan.
well, is it that the cooler isn't as efficient as it needs to be or are your ambient temps not cool enough to adequately cool the liquid when it passes through the rad? i mean, as long as the design of the block is good, and the water is being moved through the loop the way it should be (and i assume from all the great reviews that it is on both counts), then i can't imagine that a cpu alone, especially when todays cpu's are cooler running and use less power, would require a rad that size... would be interested to know ambient temps vs temps of the water once it has passed through the loop additionally, with the way the h seeries is set up, isn't it using air from inside the case? which is hotter than the air outside...at least, i would hope so.
S1366 CPUs aren't cool running and they use loads of power! You're getting confused with SandyBridge Core i7s which have a lower TDP and use less than half the power of S1366 Core i7s... And there's no way to check ambient temps of the water on a sealed loop system, otherwise it wouldn't be sealed any more. The Hxx series can be configured either internally or externally to draw air from either inside the case out, or outside and in. Best results will depend on which case you're using though and your other fan configurations.
System Ambient temp : 25 degrees C Exhaust from h70 at 100% load 67-75 degrees so yeah skt 1366 runs hot
no, not confusing them with sandy bridge, and i know sb uses less power than s1366, i'm saying core series uses less power than pentium d for example...todays cpu's (last 3-5 years) use less power than before (5-8 years ago) additionally, if you put 1.4 volts through a chip, it's going to get as hot as any other chip you put 1.4 volts through, i get that. but again, is the h50/70/whatever the limitation or is it that the temp of the air running through the rad not cool enough? or maybe the water is going through too fast and can't be cooled... fact is, a single 120 could cool a pentium d ee fine (1.35 to 1.4 volts as i recall), so i have a hard time seeing how the h50/70 can't cool a s1366 chip...granted, other factors like block design and what not affect performance...but again, seems like corsair have a pretty good design here. just seems like if you are having trouble with a single 120 rad design, it's most likely a unique issue to you, be it ambient temps, configuration of the fan, case temps, how well you did applying the tim...etc...
You missive something here. Let me put this to you: How can a chip kick out 150W of heat at only 1.4v? It'd mean that 107A are being pumped into it, going by the logic your using. In CPU's the heating is caused by the transistors switching. Now this was easy to cool a pent d ee as it only got to 3.5GHzish, so it's heat output was low. A i7 930 at 4.5GHz is switching massively faster, so will kick out more heat for the same voltage. Atleast thats how my electronics lecturer explained it to me
Now as you pointed out that a single 120 could cool a Pentium d ee, name one pre made sealed system that was around in those days like the h50/70? There were no out the box water cooling solutions back then. It was custom wc or no wc. And I'll say it again in case you missed it... I know the h70 can cool a s1366.. See my sig! What I'm saying is the H100 would do a better job due to twice the rad surface area. Let's not forget that the h70 cooling performance can be equalled by a top end air cooled setup but neither can come close to a single 120 rad custom loop so hopefully the H100 will fill the gap between and give me more room to push the clock or run a good few degrees cooler.
Kits... Not sealed ready to go like h50/70 Pete, which is my point. A kit with separate components is going to produce better cooling performance than a small, convenient factory sealed option.
