The Hydro Series has been an extremely successful venture for Corsair, projecting them into the limelight in the CPU cooler market in the last three years. Having models for entry level, mid-range and high-end has ensured complete domination for the brand.

The H75 is another successful attempt for Corsair. For those who desire a step-up from the H60, H75 retains the streamline design but brings with it the bonus of having dual 120mm cooling fans for a push-pull configuration. Having performed an indepth analysis on H75 we can confirm this cooler does a great job when used in stock and overclocked scenarios.

Applying a substantial overclock to the Intel Core i7-3930K, H75 excelled in bringing down the temperatures. The new Asetek pump clearly provides improvements and even more so when the unit is put under more demanding usage.



Having dual SP120L PWM fans which are capable of up to 2000RPM, the H75 delivers on the performance level but noise can be a negative factor (depending how far you go with the overclock of course). Using H75 with stock settings the noise levels are definitely tolerable but when we applied that significant overclock the SP120Ls began to be disruptive when operating at 100%.

Other aspects which we really like about Corsair’s H75 is the fact the instructions manual is easy to follow and that the cooler is simple to install. Due to H75 being self-contained (just like other Hydro units) there is the advantage of never needing to perform a maintenance service which can only be a bonus.

The H75 is priced at £65 / $85 which we think isn’t too bad at all when you consider how flexible this cooler is – supporting multiple sockets and coming with dual SP120Ls. Compared to other flagship air coolers, H75 performs similar but has the added benefits such as complete memory clearance.

Corsair’s new H75 tackles the mid-range with prowess by demonstrating it can handle high-end processors with challenging overclocks. Backed by a lengthy 5 years warranty and delivering on aesthetics, build quality and ease of installation, H75 deserves nothing less than our gold award.
