The H80 also supports AMD AM2 and AM3 sockets. The H80 supports all current Intel LGA sockets, and even the upcoming LGA2011 socket. It comes with two 120mm fans that are rated at 1300~2600 RPM 22~39 dBA. The H80 also features a new pump housing with a speed selector switch for switching between Low Noise, Balanced, and Performance modes. The Hydro Series H80 has the 38mm thick 120mm aluminum radiator. Now Corsair has released the update to the H70, the H80. The H60 had the thin 120mm radiator, single 120mm fan, a new pump/cold plate design, and a new mounting system. Then in April of this year Corsair released the H60. In 2010 the H50 got a big brother, the H70 it had a thicker 120mm radiator, new low profile pump/cold plate design, and came with dual 120mm fans. The whole unit was sealed so no maintenance was needed on the users part. The H50 had a thin 120mm radiator, single fan, and a CPU water block with an integrated pump and cold plate. One could make the argument that the Corsair Hydro Series coolers have been at the top of many users’ short list of options for self-contained water cooling kits since the Hydro Series H50 was released back in 2009. For the last few years companies have recognized the need for low cost, budget friendly kits. Those that have started to overcome the fear usually stop dead in their tracks when they watch the price tag climb for a custom water cooling loop.
