Does the CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i really not work with an 1150?

It does not list 1150 LGA socket as one it is compatible with? Isn't 1150 the most commonly used? I find this odd. Or am I missing something?

Also, is it a good CPU cooler?

Like jim said it depends on the user. I don't think anyone will call it a bad cooler but what it's called will depend on what price the item is selling for. I bought mine refurbished for $64 w/ 1 Year warranty. It didn't arrive DoA and cools my CPU nicely. In my situation it's a good cooler. If it were at retail price? I wouldn't have even bought it unless it was necessary.

Also my H100i box has the LGA 1150 as a supported socket.
From the product home page
Socket Support AMD: AM2, AM3, FM1, FM2, Intel LGA: 1150, 1155, 1156, 1366, 2011, 2011-3

I have one hooked up to my 1150 now.

Is it a good cooler? Depends on who you ask. I chose it for aesthetics reasons only. It's a decent cooler, but air can do just as good a job for quieter and usually cheaper. For me, if I have a windowed case, I go for the H100i simply for looks. If I have a closed case no window, I go with a Noctua NH-D15.
