Corsair H80 and H100 - And Corsair Digital Link

[flong]

Hey guys and girls,

Has anyone heard of any reviews of the brand spankin new Corsair H80 or H100 water cooling units? Has anyone purchased one yet and care to comment? I am about to build a computer and I am intensely interested in how these new units compare with the Noctua D14.

I also am very interested in Corsairs new digital "Link" automatic fan controller that is compatible with the new cooling units. I would love to see a review of this amazing new option to automatically control all the fans in your case.

Hey I found this private review at Overclock.net - it is really good. The thread compares the H80 and the Noctua NH-D14. It appears that they are roughly equal or the H80 is slightly better. The H80 is not silent though.

It appears that the H80 is a very good cooler but it is noisy at high fan. That being said, at high fan it appears to slightly beat the Noctua NH-D14 which is impressive. In one test that I saw it beat the NH- C14 (not the D14) by nearly 10 degrees which again is impressive.

Remember that the D14 is quiet as it cools and so the H80 has an unfair advantage.
