corsair hydro series h80i v2 cooling a i7 930 2.8 ghz

The box is nicely designed, giving you a good look at the design, as well as a quick rundown of the major features, such as Corsair Link, dual 120mm fans and socket compatibility. The cooler is compatible with all major socket types, but even better, it comes with a five-year warranty, that’s great piece of mind right there. It’s tuned to be well suited to high-end systems, with a powerful pump, thick cooling pipes, a thick radiator and two high-performance 120mm fans, likely more than enough for a heavily overclocked CPU. The H80i v2 is one of the latest in a line of very popular and extensively proven AIO coolers from Corsair. They offer many of the high-end cooling thrills that come with water cooling, in a package that’s no more complicated to use than a humble air cooler. Custom loop water cooling is great, but it can be very expensive and technical, which is why AIO coolers, such as the H80i v2 that I’m reviewing today come into play.

It’s also fairly likely that you’ll be either overclocking that CPU, or intending to use it in heavy load scenarios, such as gaming, benchmarking, rendering and other demanding tasks and that means one thing, heat! The stock air cooler may be enough for some, but air coolers can often get a little noisy when the going gets tough.

When you’re building a high-end gaming PC or workstation, it’s very likely you’ll be running a fairly high-end CPU.
