Unlike other Hydro Series coolers, H110i GT utilises a huge 280mm radiator, yielding greater surface area and in return better cooling performance. The actual dimensions of this radiator are 140mm x 322mm x 27mm.
Taking a closer look at area where the hoses connect directly into the radiator its clear the tubing here is vastly different to anything we’ve seen from a closed loop solution from Corsair, or any other brand. The material is thick, woven and flexible and it’s immediately apparent we have something which is high-quality.
Examining the pump in closer detail, we have a really sleek piece of kit. True to form, Corsair has engineered this pump to be attractive and appealing to the eye. H110i GT is designed to be shown off and as such the Corsair logo which sits in the very centre uses an RGB LED which can be modified in the Corsair Link software. To gain access to this software the supplied cable must be connected to the micro-USB slot seen in the picture above – the other end plugs into a USB header on the motherboard.
Stemming from the pump are a number of cabled connections. There is a SATA/3-pin connector which plugs to the PSU and CPU fan header on the motherboard. These particular cables will supply the pump with power to operate. The two other cables are to work in correspondence with the cooling fans – the cables coming from the fans connect to the headers and this allows the software to manage fan speeds.
Flipping the pump over for a look at the underside we see the baseplate uses copper for direct contact with CPU. This copper base is large enough to cover the bigger chips from the likes of Intel’s enthusiast segment – LGA 2011. Out of the box, Corsair has provided an ample, thin layer of thermal compound paste so that you can get up and running in less time.
