Thanks, but was waiting for the H100i V2. I've waited so long already I might just stay air cooled. Less hassle

Both of those sites he linked to also have the H100i V2 in stock:

I'm sure Amazon has that cooler in stock already, just not sure why they haven't put it up yet. They have one but it's listed sold by us.

Edit: Looks like Amazon has them in stock already.

Obviously SIV can report the H100iV2, but I was not expecting there to be a difference. What are the differences please?

If you have a H80iV2 or H115i please post the firmware version. The H80iGT is 2.3.0.0 and the H110iGTX is 2.4.0.0 and I would also like to know how those versions differ.

Note the H100iV2 fans are connected to the motherboard which is why 0 RPM is reported.

Is it true that with the newer v2 model, the hoses are harder to manipulate than the original model? If this is true, then I'm keeping the older model as I am doing a (very little room) Mini-ITX build in the 'Ncase M1' chassis.

Also, will the CPU block of the v1 model fit easily onto my i7-6700k on an Asus Z170I Pro Gaming motherboard? .... Or, is the V2 model better for that CPU block to fit onthat Asus MB?

Thanks.

What Corsair said about the firmware being the same is incorrect.

The firmware has been improved in all the newer H115i + H100iV2 + H80iV2 so I advise you to get the V2.

It's still not as good as the CoolIT firmware though, see http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?p=796027

Thanks...

My other concern is that someone stated the V1's CPU block is a tough fit for some Asus MB's... (mine will be the Z170I Pro Gaming)

There is no such cooler as a "V1" do you mean H100iGTX?

That's a hardware issue and I am a software guy. Why not just get a H100iV2 and that way it won't be an issue.

Do you really want to use an H100iGTX and if so why?

You seem rather good at quoting urban myths and need to specify URLs so we can read what they actually say.
