Corsair H100 & H100i Performance Comparison with SP120 Fans

To test the performance of the Corsair H100 and H100i, we built a powerful Z77 based system to push the cooler to its limits.  It features an Intel Core i7-3770K which was overclocked to 4.7 GHz using a core voltage of 1.3 V.

We tested each unit with both the quiet and high performance edition SP120 fans in push and push-pull configurations, as well as with the stock fans in push configurations.
