Bearukun Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Greetings everyone..! I consider(ed) getting the H100i, but after reading this forum, and watching movies on youtube, it makes me worried about purchasing one... I previously had two H80s and a H100, and they both have the pump clicking noise so I ended up returning them for a Noctua cooler instead. And it's such a hassle to put everything together just to find out that you have to RMA it and wait forever to get another unit that MAY be faulty. I have the impression that almost all of the H100i is faulty since, either about the LEDs, FANS, or the pump. I know it's easy to find people raging on the internet - but there's so many on the internet complaining. My question is, can you actually go out - and purchase a unit (here in Denmark) and get home with a H100i that doesn't have any of those terrible problems..?

Darkwing Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 to be honest, my H100i works without noises etc, my issue is with the commander. So if you are just going for the H100i on it's own, besides maybe new fans, there won't be much issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearukun Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 I was thinking about getting two 120SP's, and throw the stock fans away. Will they work with the pump and the commander? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkwing Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 yes, after upgrading the FW to 1.05. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillian Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 The H100i is perfect as long as you don't plan on controlling it via Corsair Link. That's where the main issues arise. (Or at least they have for me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peanutz94 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Bearukun, if you pay attention to youtube or even ANY support forums you would never buy anything again. You can find bad reviews on just about ANY product . Corsair sells tens of thousands of these units monthly and for 99% of the users that have these coolers they work as intended. My question is, can you actually go out - and purchase a unit (here in Denmark) and get home with a H100i that doesn't have any of those terrible problems..? There is just no way of answering that. It would depend on if the places there have new stock or not and the only ones who would know that are the the shops themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillian Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 But on another thread you say It's kinda worrying :(: Mhm, but if I hadn't updated it's firmware it would've been fine. It's just the luck of the draw. I'm running an AMD FX8350 at 4.3Ghz and it's running at 18c idle in quite a warm room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your reply :) It's just that I've had a H100 and two H80s and they were faulty.... And then when I'm reading on this forum, the problems still persist (Even with a new gen) and people can't get their units working at 100%. It's very hard to find positive things about the H-series on the internet - besides the review sites.. And as I said initially, I know that it's easy to find negative posts on the internet, and it's not my intent to start a drama war in here - it would just be nice with some kind of failure rate. I've always been glad for Corsair, but I've never been lucky with their H-series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkwing Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 H50 is great, my wife's pc has that now and still going without issue. Maybe the new H series are just too complicated with all these bells and whistles :D: H50 has a pump and a fan, straight to the point ;): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yock Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I live in Denmark and have had no real problems with mine. I replaced the fans because i thought they were to noisy and thats all. Them being noisy is just me wanting something more quiet. Atm. the only problem i can think of is Corsair Link that prevent my harddrives from going into sleep.
