orphean Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Finished my build yesterday which included a H100i and AX760i PSU. My H100i came with the 4-pin PWM fans and the 1.0.5 firmware. I haven't noticed any rattling or odd pump noises at all. One thing that concerned me was the backplate of the H100i was very loose when it was initially installed. It had a lot of 'play' when it was just the standoffs screwed into it. Once I mounted the waterblock and tightened down the thumbscrews though the slack went away and now is very firmly pressed against the back of the motherboard. I didn't need to add any rubber washers or anything else to get it a secure, tight fit. I wasn't expecting the CorsairLink software to work properly since I am running Windows 8 Professional on this build but I'm happy to say that it works fine in my case without having to do anything special. I have both the H100i and the AX760i USB headers plugged into an internal USB 2.0 header expansion board (my mobo only has two USB 2.0 headers) so even in that somewhat nonstandard install it's fine. I'm glad I got a case with a sidewindow, as stupid as it sounds I like looking over and seeing the H100i cycling through its colors next to the Dominator Platinum ram. I was a bit worried about the H100i purchase but decided to take a chance since it is so performant. It looks like Corsair has the kinks worked out at least in my case.

badkarma3059 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Likewise happy with my H100I. Though I have the old fans, I control them thru the mobo and have not had any issue. I only use the software to change the color on the pump. So far I'm very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 22, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 22, 2013 Glad to hear that you guys had no problem with the cooler. Ecosse, did you submit a request for the PWM fan yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtualaughing Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Satisfied users are rare birds because their silence is the sign of happyness:D My hungarian costumer said that, they will deal with RMA and if my problem is valid with H100 then i can have a chance for the H100i :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash_0 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 As far as I am concerned, I'm not very happy with my H100is, I own 4 of these, all defective since day one (dead LED, dead pump, broken link port, without mentioning the high pitched noise). I have already RMA'd two units, they came back to me defective, again... The most common issues with my units come from the LEDs, either they die suddenly or I can't have pure white with the LED (the white turn more and more yellowish or bluish before diying some days later). Yesterday, I have RMA'd all my units in one time and I really hope I will recieve 4 good units back, I have already spent too much money on this product => 4 x167$ (Taxes in Belgium are really expensive - 21%) + 105$ of shiping fees = 773$ for 4 units...). If RAMGUY and the Tech Support weren't so great and always ready to help everyone in the best way they can, I would probably stop buying Corsair products (despite the fact that I love corsair stuff).

TwispF4 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 My fans were shipped out the other day, I hope they fix my issues :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badkarma3059 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I suppose I just don't mind the sound of a high rpm, high airflow fan. Then again my last rig was an Antec 900 stuffed to the gills with fans. Compared to that the H100i is low key, even on high. Must have spent to much time at NHRA events, huh? what did you say?
