In Fortnite it gets up to about 80C. In normal use I doubt I would ever get to 100C and activate throttling, but interesting to know, thanks. As you can see from my screenshot I get about 35-38C idle, and even pegging all 10 cores to 100% it maxes out at 65C, still pretty chill for a CPU and nowhere near thermal throttling. I can run it at 100% for hours and hours and that's as hot as it ever gets. Lian-Li introduced the new Galahad II Trinity series of AIO liquid coolers this year in a variety of models and configurations. If you are looking for something that offers great performance and sports plenty of RGB lighting, then the new Galahad II Trinity SL-INF 240 should satisfy your needs. This version comes with Lian-Li's SL-Infinity 120mm RGB fans that are just loaded with RGB lighting all around. It even comes with infinity mirror effects, on the main fan hub and both sides of the frame to give a unique look, and like most Lian-Li fans they can be daisy chained easily for better cable management. Even the pump-head can be customized with three deferent caps bundled in the box for a unique RGB look. Maximum coolant temperature in regard to the physical system limits? Or how much should you expect to see for your use?"... well, both indeed.

Someone asked same question 4 years ago about 1 fan vs 2 fans on CPU cooler and one tested it with H80i cooler similar as your cooler. That depends on several factors. The pump that moves the liquid in the cooler is typically silent or at least inconsequential compared to other PC noises. AIO models usually have fans, which will get noisy if they operate at high speed or are dirty. You can decrease fan noise by keeping them free of dust and monitoring their settings via the BIOS if possible. The good news is that, with liquid cooling, fans usually don't have to work as hard and are less likely to make lots of noise. Maximum coolant temperature in regard to the physical system limits? Or how much should you expect to see for your use? https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Liquid-Cooling/Single-Radiator-Liquid-Coolers/Hydro-Series™-H60-%282018%29-120mm-Liquid-CPU-Cooler/p/CW-9060036-WWCorsair does not list a maximum safe temperature, but every brand I know of puts it somewhere between 50-65C liquid temperature. It really doesn't matter for the physical pieces. Sealants and adhesives might not fare as well for long term exposure to 65C coolant. However, something of a moot point since 50C coolant will put your CPU temps into the 90s and force you to take action or shutdown. The CPU will always hit its limit first. Thanks to both and I beg your pardon for replaying so late… but I've been some days on holiday (at last!!!). Please note: For iCUE 4 on macOS, currently only HID and audio products (listed below under HID gaming peripherals) are supported. I don't know why but in these days fans are reaching speeds (and noise) like they never did before… ambient temperature has risen but not to that level… and it's not my first summer in this house. The Corsair H80i v2 driver runs on your operating system and enables it to communicate with the CPU cooler you use. If the driver hasn’t been properly installed on your computer, your Corsair cooler won’t fully function.

It will definitely be adequate, but in terms of noise and temps, YMMV. I'd expect most people to get better temps than me, since I'm running this in an old Corsair 400Q case with the two default 140MM acting as an intake, and the only other fans in the case are the ones on H80i acting as an exhaust. I also replaced the two Corsair 120MM fans on the H80i with Noctua ultra-low noise fans, so I lose quite a bit of cooling capacity but it runs near-silent even at 100% fan speed. If you used a stronger pair of fans like the ones that come with the H80i you would get better cooling performance, and if you had a case with better airflow than mine you'd probably do better still.I find out my H60 pump speed from a third party utility known as Speedfan. It is denoted as CPU Fan probably because the cable of the H60 is connected to my mobo's CPU fan header. It is 4299 rmp! Miraculously high!! The popularity Corsair enjoys in the PC-cooling market rests almost entirely on the Hydro Series of products which cover nearly every segment of the market from entry to enthusiast—the only thing missing is an expandable option. Then there are the H100i and H110 for extreme cooling purposes as both were until recently the best the cooling line had to offer. When it comes to heatsinks and fans, Corsair really does have a product for just about everyone. Unfortunately, this is likely as good as you can do. You haven't given your room temperature, but I can approximate the case ambient temperature from the drive and coolant data above. Ultimately, that is what really matters anyway.

The side plates are really nicely finished and a Corsair badge that matches the design of the pump, giving it a nice uniform appearance. I got this image from guru3d review of the H60 . My motherboard doesn't have the CPU_OPT header. What do I do? question: as I mentioned before, my motherboard is the old P8Z77-I Deluxe which provides only 1 CPU fan header and 1 Chassis fan header, so when I install the pump, by common sense I will connect the fan 4-pin cable to the CPU fan header. But I know there is a pump fan lead cable, to where I should hook it up?? From there, proceed with your typical Hydro Series cooler installation (don't forget to plug in your power and USB cables). If you want to see diagrams or more detailed installation instructions, consult your cooler product manual. If you cannot find your product manual, you can use this manual for the H100i Platinum.In addition to a 240mm radiator, the kit comes with Corsair's new AF Elite fans. These are high-performance 120mm PWM fluid dynamic bearing fans that combine a low-noise design with the company's 'AirGuide' technology for powerful cooling, quiet operation, and exceptional durability. They also support Zero RPM and Variable Pump Speed specialized cooling modes in iCUE to keep noise to a minimum when your system is idle or under light loads. Personally, I think those are good gaming temperature for Summertime and a H80i that is likely rear mounted above the GPU. The problem most users run into in that configuration is warmer than expected CPU temps during gaming as the GPU waste heat raises the baseline H80i coolant temp, simply through proximity to the GPU. What you are seeing is your own worst case scenario and yet you still have a fair amount of head room. As for the CPU only stress benchmarks, it is a Haswell so your CPU will always be the limiting factor in your cooling attempts, not the heat dissipation of the cooler. Be careful using BF1 as a diagnostic tool. There are too many variables in that one to make it reliable and it is clearly a peaky type of load. I fitted an old H80i I had laying around to an Asus TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS D4 motherboard with an i7 12700 CPU and it works very well. The copper plate still covers the entire CPU heat spreader, even though it's quite a bit bigger than an LGA1200 one. I get more than decent temps, and very low noise on idle.

My original point remains, you can use the H80i no problems at all on LGA1700 with the LGA1200 mounting kit, I am writing this post on a machine with that exact setup. K70 RGB, K70 RGB PRO, K70 Lux RGB, K70 RGB Rapidfire, K70 RGB SE Rapidfire, K70 Lux, K70 Rapidfire, K70 PRO MINI So, when something goes wrong with your Corsair H80i v2 CPU cooler, updating its driver should always be your go-to option. There are 2 easy and safe ways to do it: In these days in Tuscany (where I live) we're having very hot days (over 40C), but my house is quite fresh and I'm able to manage the temperatures quite well even under gaming. But I got that getting around 10 degreed over CPU temperature is a reasonable range of functionality.

So i'm building a new Alder lake pc, and I happen to have an H80i v2 from my previous one. I was very happy with its performance and would love to use it in my new H210i, since I gather it would be about the only AIO I could fit on the rear exhaust that could handle my new i5-12600K (I wanna leave the front rad slot open for a GPU cooler).
