Features:
Cooling Performance For The Most Demanding Systems
Corsair Hydro Series Liquid CPU coolers provide a compact, easy-to-install, and maintenance free alternative to bulky, noisy air coolers, efficiently cooling and protecting your high performance Intel or AMD CPU.
Control at your fingertips
The low profile integrated pump and cold plate include push-button control so you can select the fan speed and cooling performance setup that best suits your needs. The white LED display lets you know at a glance which profile is being used.
Performance, times two
Featuring a full 240mm radiator and two performance matched 120mm fans, the Corsair Hydro Series H100 extreme performance liquid CPU cooler is designed to deliver cooling performance that needs the needs of even the most demanding performance enthusiast.
Easy installation, zero maintenance
You no longer need to invest into finicky modular water-cooling systems to get serious CPU cooling performance. Each Hydro Series Liquid CPU Cooler is a sealed, closed-loop system that comes pre-filled and never needs refilling. Tubing is constructed from low-evaporation FEP for a long lifespan. Even the thermal compound is pre-applied. You'll be up and running in minutes.
The latest cooling technology
Both the H80 and the H100 include a low-profile, light-weight cooling unit with a micro-channel copper cold plate and a split-flow manifold. The result of all this attention to fluid dynamics is CPU cooling that's remarkably efficient, with a total noise level that's lower than most stock CPU fans.
Ready for Corsair Link Digital
The H100 work great with Corsair Link, an ecosystem of hardware and software components designed to give you unprecedented control over your PC. Connect your H100 to the Corsair Link Commander (available separately) and monitor a wide range of parameters, including pump speed, coolant temperature, and fan speed, and customize your own performance profiles.

The Corsair H100’s most stand-out feature is its 240mm thin radiator design. This effectively increases the surface area two fold compared to standard 120mm radiators like the H50 or H60. It’s also a more favourable design over thick single radiators as heat is dissipated more quickly and creates a longer temperature gradient meaning it doesn’t get saturated by heat as easily. The actual construction is not dissimilar to other ALC units. The pump is integrated to the CPU block and cold plate with the tubing connecting the pump directly to the radiator. Unique to the Hydro Series coolers is a push-button on the CPU block to control the fan via voltage control. It is an interesting and intuitive addition by Corsair to ensure performance and noise levels that meet the user’s needs. Aluminium is still the preferred material used thanks to its light weight properties and good thermal conductivity. The base is still copper for the best conductivity.
As standard, two 120mm fans are bundled that can operate between 1300 and 2600RPM based on the mode selected. Somewhat similarly to Antec’s approach, the fan speed can be changed from quiet to balanced and to high performance. Previously, Corsair have always recommended that the fans be installed to intake cold air from outside of the case but due to the H100’s 240mm radiator and cases featuring compatible mountings in different locations, Corsair leaves it up to users to decide how to orientate the fans. Ideally, they should help promote airflow depending on how the chassis is designed.
