I think this video was the final decision maker for me. I bought the cooler but I also upgraded the fans. I can't tell you how it works in stock configuration, but with the T30s it is awesome. I've never seen Cinebench run and the orange bar pretty much stays where it is from start to finish with all cores staying well below TJmax even before undervolting. Thanks for the great review.
I have AMD 5800x and its known to run very hot under 100% load. With H100x in 10min of Cinebench multicore test it went up to max 83-86°C but i switched to Noctua NH-D15 chromax and with same test and settings(also same room temperature) it runs max at 79-81°C. I think you should redo the test same settings, same case for identical airflow(same amount of fans) and try NH-D15 with both fans. In my case it did lower the temperature with NH-D15 and it runs almost at 4.7GHz while the boost with H100x reached max 4.622. I also noticed that idle temps are also lower on NH-D15. Both setups are quite loud at 100% load.
I love the d15 and wholeheartedly recommend it. I did the test a few times and with my setup and a relatively quiet fan curve I had better results with the H100x. I'm currently running a 3900x 12c 24t and it runs very well, boosting upto 4.7ghz on select cores. This is due to adequate cooling.
Noctua is huge. I just bought the h100x since it was at a reduced price, but I really have no need for it :) with my ryzen 7 1800x. I may buy a new cpu and motherboard to match it 😁
I've upgraded to a ryzen 9 5900x so the corsair h100x is working really nicely now 😁. Max temps I'd say around the 80 degree mark. Typically around 50-60 degrees though
Thanks for the video. How did this affect the temperature of your GPU? Was it cooler under load due to having more intake fans, not blowing through a radiator?
I have the same doubt. Mounting Mine right now and dont wanna plug the sata. I think It is only required If you plug the fans on the built in splitter. I Will find out soon ...
thinking about R5 2600X stock>water upgarde but i watched a video dude said all waterblock slowly but surely losing water is it true maybe for like 5 years it stays ok ?
I’ve ended getting the NH-D15S for replacing my Corsair h100i and it was a day and night difference. Works pretty silent and cools way better my Ryzen 7 5800X.
@@ricco123tube Yes I l know, but it is to know the max performances we can get it from it. If you could check and make the same test with max fan speed, that should be great. Thank you.
@@genergia Well you can put faster fans to Noctua as well, by default you can't hear them at all compared to the graphics card really. also putting a couple of fans on top of the actual noctua fans does help as well. I'm all for noctua for the simple fact that it's not leaking and never will and I've been using it for the last 10 years (still original fans/setup) runs just fine and Noctua even send me the bracket for AM4 socket free of charge from Austria! Wow well done to Noctua. I plan to use for another 10 years and we'll see how your corsair will perform in 3-5 years when it will start leaking on top of the graphics card...
i thought and read that your aio position is better if your radiator was reversed ,meaning the tubes on the top end giving a higher position than the cpu to avoid bubbles in the pump? is there a reason why yours is in the lower position?
Oh dear.... The pump is below the top of the radiator. It's basic stuff really, and a couple of big UA-camrs have already covered this. If you believe I am incorrect, please, explain in detail. I await....
@@moonobservergilles5730 yes he does. Watch it and listen carefully. He and others say ONE thing that is very important, then look at the position of the pump on my system in relation to the top of the radiator.
What are your temperatures in gaming with a Ryzen 5600X/5800X and the H100X? Mine is getting from 50 to 75c, kinda hot IMO. The case s an old HAF-XM with good airflow.
I ve got the 100i rgb platinum and is still not enough for my i9 10850k maybe i have to replace the thermal paste that came with the cooler :D the Corsair Hydro Series H100i RGB PLATINU its 130 euro here
Changing the thermal paste isn't gonna help much with the i9. It's a really hot piece of silicon on a very old node. Intel are pushing it to the extreme.
@@ricco123tube I ve got over 90 C running for 1 minute ,probably i ve made a mistake buying this cpu but i ve seen ryzen is not that far ,my i9 it's 1 week older ,at same price was ryzen 7 5800x and i had to choose between those two
I'm about to do a quick vid with the h100 vs 3900x at full load for an hour. I'm certain from preliminary tests that it won't go anywhere near 90 degrees.
@@ricco123tube Front or top mount doesn't matter but what I think he means is that your fans should be on the other side. Your fan placement is wrong, please look at the other videos on youtube or google it.
@@ricco123tube People do not conduct experiments, so they make hasty conclusions. From my own experience, the front placement is the most successful in terms of performance.
@@ricco123tube I found it odd as well. You pronounce it 'hetch', while most people pronounce it 'etch'. Thanks for explaining it though, and you should stick with your accent.
@@ricco123tube the case has terrible airflow. terrible. edit: I thought it was a h500/h510. my bad 2nd edit: s340 also has terrible airflow. not as terrible as the h500
I do not understand when people say "Annoy me when I am playing games". N* I think you need to change your headset and get a better one. I mean if you can hear a fan noise through all the gun fires or tire screeches (because idk what kind of games you are into), then you really need to buy a better headphones. Now if you are not wearing headphones while playing games then you should reconsider using the word "gaming". I have a F* Walmart fan about 10 feet away from me and I play Warzone. Never have I missed any footsteps in game. I bet no CPU fan is louder than that unless you plan on blowing air into your PC case using some construction fans or some leaf blowers or something. smh
The Corsair H100x is one of the best cooling systems for its price.

Very nice indeed. Have fun with it 😉
Tiny heat and clock speed difference for annoying pump noise you have to deal with. Stick with air coolers guys.
I'd agree for the most part.
wow thanks a lot a perfect head to head coolers test, thank you bro!
thanks for keeping this video review short
Good video :) A question, your screensaver, where from? :D
Thanks, great comparison.
would the Corsair H100x perform the same or worse if i have to palce the fans on the top side of the case ?
Thanks for the video. How did this affect the temperature of your GPU? Was it cooler under load due to having more intake fans, not blowing through a radiator?
No, not really. As long as you can keep a fair amount of air moving through the system, there shouldn't be more than a degree or two difference.
if you add another fan on the right side of the nh-d15s it would beat the corsair h100x
It makes a 2c difference when I tried it. Just not worth it IMO.
Do I need to plug both the 3pin and sata in or just one or the other?
did you find out?
I have the same doubt. Mounting Mine right now and dont wanna plug the sata. I think It is only required If you plug the fans on the built in splitter. I Will find out soon ...
For those waiting. Yes, the Sata cable is required. Water pump needs it. The fan header cable is only for RPM control and monitoring.
Thanks, helped me
thinking about R5 2600X stock>water upgarde but i watched a video dude said all waterblock slowly but surely losing water is it true maybe for like 5 years it stays ok ?
I have a h100i and I'm sick of the noise of the pump. Is the NH-D15S quieter?
@Eusebiu Moraru is it worth picking up in 2021 with an i7 10th gen? thanks
On my both 3950x and 5950x at work, you can def hear the D15. Also temps with PBO enabled are not good, around 85C.
I’ve ended getting the NH-D15S for replacing my Corsair h100i and it was a day and night difference. Works pretty silent and cools way better my Ryzen 7 5800X.
Doesn't it make air bubbles the way he mounted the h100x, I'm pretty sure that it's supposed to be higher up than the AIO.
I'm afraid you're a bit late to the party.
Answer.....No.
thanks
I just bought the Noctua u12s redux but I wish I got that audio instead🙁
Aio
how do i set h100x to not loud option? right now i have fans at 4000 rpm
Bios fan settings or motherboard fan utility.
And with the H100x with fans at 100% speed, what is your CPU temp after 50 minutes of CB ?
No idea...
Is there a reason for fans at 100%? Would be rather noisy.
@@ricco123tube
Yes I l know, but it is to know the max performances we can get it from it. If you could check and make the same test with max fan speed, that should be great. Thank you.
I'm GPU-less in that rig so will have to wait until I get a new graphics card from either team red or green.

My 3900x on full load with cinebench is around 78 max and I'd expect around 65-70 on a cpu intensive game.
