Corsair's H105 240 mm Water Cooler Has a Thicker Radiator
Corsair has built a 240 mm all-in-one water cooler with a thicker radiator.
Corsair has introduced a new all-in-one liquid cooler – the H105. This unit expands the Hydro series of water cooling units. The H105 features a 240 mm radiator that is 38 mm thick. In contrast, both the H100 and H100i feature a 27 mm thick radiator.
Corsair has equipped the unit with two 120 mm SP120L fans that can spin at speeds ranging from 800 RPM to 2700 RPM. They can push up to 73 CFM, make up to 37.3 dBA of noise, and have a static pressure of 3.9 mm of water.
The water block and pump combo unit features a copper cold plate, as well as a pump with a ceramic bearing. The color accent ring can be swapped with different colors. According to Corsair, the unit will support Intel's LGA 1156/1155/1150/1366/2011 sockets, as well as AMD's AM2/AM3/FM1/FM2 sockets.
Corsair has priced the unit with an MSRP of $119.99. There was no clear word on when the unit would hit shelves, though we'd expect it won't take too long.

The fans that come with the H100i and the H105 are the same and have no color ring but only grey fins. The ones with the color ring options, there are two types:
Air Flow, performance or Quite
SP, performance or quiet
Both come with set rings but all of the fans in the AF and SP come with all three rings so you can choose what color you want. You want red? You take out the white ring and install the red ring.
What I want is a H110i and to see this in comparison to the H100i. What is weird is that this has the older round style water block instead of the square one the H100i has which means no Corsair Link system so why would it be considered better than the H100? Besides the thicker radiator it has no advantage over the H100i.
Maybe because they have always measured fan speed, even in the UK, with CFM? Maybe because the difference in 1 cubic meter is about 45 cubic feet? It would be easier to read off the cubic feet as much as it varies from fan to fan, than to nit pick at decimal values of cubic meters.

"even in the UK" Until not long ago, they used the imperial system even in the uk. So of course they have always used to measure in CFM (i assume you mean air displacement instead of fan speed). The rest of the world, however, moved to a more logical system over the course of a few hundred years.
Here in the netherlands it is measured in m³/h, so it would be 120m³/h.
"It would be easier to read off the cubic feet"
NO it wouldnt! Only if you live in the UK and have already finished school, or if you live in the US.
freaking imperial system...

Actually we still do to a large extent. It's a very mixed bag, bit of a schizoid
legacy depending on what area one examines. Road signs are mostly in
miles, not km, whereas most food/drink items are in litres or ml, though
often the equivalent pint quantity is on the same package; some products
aim to please both the old & new by having the metric amount in prominent
text, but it's a fractional number, whereas the pint quantity in smaller text
is an integer. One can get caught out by this sometimes, buying a 4l milk
carton instead of 4 pint, or vice versa.
Clothes, food, car indicators, signs, labels, etc. Each category leans in
one direction or the other; there's been no national move to just ditch the
old system completely. I wonder sometimes whether modern school
children are occasionally a bit confused at road signs still being in miles,
given that schooling today is I should imagine done entirely in metric.
Hehe, mind you, only the US would come up with the metric foot.

Classic case in the UK is the weather. People tend to use Celsius/Centigrade
when referring to low temps, but often quote Farenheit numbers on the hottest
summer days (at least older people do), perhaps because saying 'today was in
the 90s!' just sounds more impressive, I don't know.
Not as annoying though as any science mag which quotes cosmological temps
in F, that's really dumb. Scientific American once apologised for doing so. Even
"All About Space" does it. Sheesh...
There are some metric units the UK has never bothered with much though,
eg, the centilitre and decimetre. Likewise, in the imperial world, the UK rarely
sees the gallon for any consumable liquid (fuel pumps are all in litres now),
and I've never seen quarts or suchlike used either.
I was going to say at least the US is being consistent in sticking with the old,
but strangely I notice CNN keeps using metric temps for its weather forecasts.
Very odd.
I say ditch both temp scales, switch to Kelvin, that'll confuse everyone and
please nobody, just like most things these days.
