In our noise level tests we switched off all the case fans and replaced the AMD Radeon HD 7950 graphics card with a HD 5550 passive model so were just taking into account the noise generated by the fans themselves. We measured the noise level with a Digital Noise Level meter at a distance of 1m from the front of the case.
The H80i also performed well in this test. It as inaudible in quiet mode and the noise level only increased slightly with balanced mode activated. In performance mode it was fairly loud but not intrusive and with the fans set to maximum, the was deafeningly loud.
excellent, nice job by Corsair! H80 was always my favourite as it fit into more cases.
Does anyone know if one of these would fit in an Antec P150 mid tower case? Thanks
@Jonny Bingham this may be a bit late but as luck would have it, I am running a Corsair H80i in an Antec P150 case. Even with my micro Asus Maximus V Gene motherboard it fits with room to spare
Great review, but I stongly disagree with the ‘Cons’ about the H80i being “A little pricey”. Currently, they sell for $88 US dollars, which is actually about $12 cheaper than what I paid for my H80. If anything, kuddos should be given to Corsair for keeping the cost of themuch improved follow-on H80i model within an affordable range for most consumers.
