Corsair Officially Announces Hydro Series H70 CPU Cooler

Corsair, a worldwide designer and supplier of high-performance components to the PC gaming hardware market, today announced the Corsair Hydro Series H70 ultra-performance CPU cooler. This CPU cooler is designed to provide an extremely efficient cooling solution for CPUs from Intel and AMD.

The Hydro Series H70 CPU cooler is an evolution of the award-winning Hydro Series H50, with several significant upgrades that enable it to deliver even greater cooling performance. These upgrades include a double-thickness (50mm) radiator with higher heat-exchanging capacity and a pump/cold plate unit with increased efficiency. The H70 also features two 120mm speed-switchable cooling fans in a push-pull configuration to provide increased airflow at low noise levels.
"Thanks to the H70, you no longer need a fin array the size of a small shoebox to cool aggressively overclocked CPUs," stated John Beekley, VP of Technical Marketing at Corsair. "The H70 stands toe-to-toe with any CPU cooler on the market, and does it with less noise, easier installation, and support of nearly every ATX-compatible case."

Like the wildly popular H50, the Hydro Series H70 provides the benefits of water cooling in a sealed and pre-filled unit, with no maintenance required. The low profile cold plate is extremely space efficient, and is very low in mass compared to heat pipe based solutions, putting less stress on the system's motherboard. The H70 includes mounting hardware for most common AMD and Intel CPUs, and, unlike some competitive CPU coolers, includes all necessary fans for high performance operation.

The Corsair Hydro Series H70 CPU Cooler is available immediately from Corsair's worldwide network of authorized distributors and resellers. It is supplied with a two year warranty, and is backed by Corsair's legendary customer service and technical support.

I'm running i7 @ 4.0 HT on in a matx case - 85 degrees cores max flat out (8 threads IBT).

I'm hoping that I can hold 4.2 with the H70 with less than 70 degrees . . .

Corsair is so smart lol, swap the rad on the H50 for a slightly thicker one, add a fan that probably cost them next to nothing, up the price by $30, and we all go gaga.

What's your cooler now? But expecting to OC more and a 15 degree drop is too optimistic IMO.

KovoetThat's it for me with CPU air coolers as I going to give this a go
Why don't you wait for a review. The performance may be as the corsair chart shows, or it could be a whopping 1 degree better than the H50. It's not like it's going to be any quieter, if anything it will be louder than air coolers with the same fan arrangements because of the addition of pump noise.... except it will also cost more.... you know the more I think about it this thing has to beat a D14 by 10c to not be a total failure. Makes me wonder why anyone would have bought the H50, I mean I still see people trading decent parts for that crap in the b/s/t section.

Not going to happen unless you live in Antarctica or a very cold climate. I am running a full custom loop. 2 2x120 dual pass rads, swiftech gtz, 8 120mm fans push/pull and I still hit 75C in OCCT. With my below specs. There is NO WAY the h70 will compete with that.

It still blows my mind how much heat the i7 line makes once oc'd past 4.0Ghz compared to my old Q9650. I wasn't ready for it and had to buy better fans and do several other mods.

Does the loop include video cards ?

Yes but it's a cool and efficient 5870 and never goes above 40c and that is with the below settings.

Only in OCCT though. In games I rarely exceed 68c on the CPU. Idle's in the low 40's.

H70 is very nice and will be a good answer to those massive heatsink/fans we are seeing now.

It's annoying that I can not stability test at 4.2 as it boots and runs fine.

Mine will never see 85 core temp as during gaming max I have seen is 65 . . .

GabkicksI am thinking of getting this. would it be too much to expect a 10-15c drop in load temps compared to my Dark knight?
like i said above your comment no lol

Damn :eek:

That's a massive improvement over the H50. Might have to consider this. H70 or real loop? Decisions, decisions, decisions

That's 2 fan on the H70 vs 1 fan on the H50 though, unless I'm mistaken.

If you plop 2 fans on the H50, difference should be around 5 degrees.

The H70 does not seem to be worth the cost for me, simply adding some shitty oem fan onto a H50 should make the performance difference so small the monetary difference is not worth it.

May as-well get something awesome if your spending that much I say.
