Corsair building basics: BUY A LIQUID CPU COOLER CAUSE WE MAKE MONEY.

[StrandzOMG]

Noctua NH-D15 outperforms most 240mm aio coolers at much lower noise.

1:18 "Liquid cooling is more effective, because it is more efficient"

That sentence almost killed me... You don't say? XDDD

i am currently using the corsair H55 all in one and it works great on my Intel G3258 CPU overclocked to 4.5GHz, i love the look of the H55 and it keeps my PC at a cool steady temperature

[adamtherealone]

I really love these simple explanations. I'm going to be building my first pc soon

[ManofLowMoralFiber]

Corsair, you should release a bigger version of the C70.

[foxmaner]

watercooling is more effective because it's more efficient. genius!

[TheJohnney]

Yeah....used corsair AIO coolers before. Went through 4 separate h100i before deciding to stick with air cooling. Those AIO were leaking within the 1st week of installation. Currently using a Noctua NH-D15 SSO2 D-Type Premium CPU Cooler and keeps my cpu under 60C under extreme load. (using an Intel 8 core CPU) :)

Corsair does make some great, silent fans though (using 8 fans in my chassis and can't hear any noise). Also using the Corsair Carbide series Air 540, its a great chassis with plenty of space.

But my Hyper EVO 212 Air cooler woth a Be Quiet! Silentwings 2 fan is much quiter than my friends Corsair liquidcooler :/

[yjfuykyil]

This is just plain wrong. High-end aircooling is more quiet and nearly as powerful as 240-280mm AIOs.

[DamienHenderson]

when you make a aio liquid cooler which outperforms the noctua nh d15 at the same price which doesn't sound ridiculous then this video will be correct

[hodud]

Ya many pumps in AIOs are louder than many 30$ air coolers

[Avran]

Could've just called the video "Buy our AIO liquid coolers pls"

[raven]

currently using a Hyper 212 EVO on my 4690K with a slight overclock, and noctuas on the case, and complete silence under load, and everything is under 60*C. your move corsair

[lmCIoudz]

Bought an H100i over a year ago, never looked back since.

[WhiteSkyMage]

corsair you don't realize it but AIO Open loop coolers are a better choice. GPUs are more important for gaming, and throw more heat, so why not cool them?

[XDataDoctorX]

+Corsair I love the concept of liquid one question that keeps popping up in my mind....Will the liquid never accidentally spill & damage cpu or motherboard? Especially if its dropped during transit or something. A clarification about how safe it is will help.

[AZMDIA]

I use a Corsair AIO cooler but this is rubish. The H100i GTX I have is not quieter than a $30 air cooler. Water is a great heat conductor but so are copper vapor chambers in air coolers. The main benefit of an AIO water cooler for me is not having a bulky fin array sitting of directly in the middle of your MB.

just installed my corsair 650W PSU and my new corsair liquid cooled Hydro series H45 liquid fan today! also got a corsair K30 keyboard coming this wednesday! so chuffed, thanks corsair! :)) (said an awful lot of corsairs there hahaha)
