H110

[donreviewer]

Well, I have the H110 on the way to me from Newegg. I am a EggXpert Reviewer, if some of you are familiar with what that is. In short, they offer me a product to review and I accept or reject the opportunity. I then review it and keep the product as compensation. No, you cannot apply. It is a offered position based upon the number and quality of reviews (and demonstrated technical expertise) you have posted there, and length of time you have been posting them.

 

I intend to install the H110 into a CM HAF XM case. This case supports 280mm radiators on top, and the radiator itself can be installed on the OUTSIDE or INSIDE the case, with the associated fans either installed outside or inside of the case.

 

Anyone forsee any issues or have any suggestions? Anyone else using this case and have any specific info to share?

 

Any/all feedback WILL NOT affect my review conclusions.

 

What I am ALREADY disappointed with, and is written down as a bullet point on the "punch list" to be pointed out in my EggXpert Review is the utter lack of appropriate on-line FAQs or even downloadable documentation regarding case compatibility (Corsair and competing cases), mounting best practices, items to look out for, etc. on Corsair's website. One of my first review steps is to research the product before I get it.

 

Not a good start, Corsair. :nono:

A third party case compatibility with the H110 would be hard to nail down to a certain model, as to which cases it will fit and which case won't, there are just too many cases out there for us make a list and make confirmation for each of them. One main requirement of the case to make cooler fit is, for the case to have the ability accommodate 280mm radiator, assuming the case has some space for the rad and fan to be mounted and given the MB design does not have a tall heat sinks on the upper part of the board. We have a lot people that helped us out in the past (currently as well) to create some sort of case reference when using our cooler, http://www.overclock.net/t/1144409/h80-h80i-h90-h100-h100i-h110-case-compatibility-thread-page-1-for-full-listings

 

As from our line of cases;

900D

650D

500R

C70

I do appreciate that you posted a reply :biggrin:. 146 others looked at my post and did not have any info, I guess. :(:

 

My review of the H110 is complete and I think everyone here is going to be very interested. It will be on Newegg in a day or so as a EggXpert Review under the name Don.

 

However, I also have a PDF version. It is attached. :D:

many of the views were probably bots looking for spammers

it looks like your review is very thorough and fair minded

i would have posted my opinion but im very biased as corsair products have worked well for me;):

Thanks wytnyt.

 

As a EggXpert Reviewer, I am obligated to review each and every product thoroughly and without bias. I am VERY tough but I am fair.

 

I also very much like Corsair, and my review is intended to help them--not hurt. That said, if there is something to point out I will (as you saw in the review). I have actually branded a few products as "DO NOT BUY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES" at Newegg. The WD TV Live comes to mind.

 

THANKS for taking the time to read my review. I really appreciate it!

I attached another PDF. This time I tweaked and got more performance out of the H110.

 

Watch your fan headers and controls on your motherboard...especially where you plug your heat pump head into.

 

Read the review for more. If anyone wants pics of my install uploaded, let me know.

 

Thanks everyone.

The review looks good. Well thought, a review like this is something I'd personally prefer.
