For temperature tests we loaded the system for 10 minutes using Prime 95 and recorded the CPU temperature using CPUID HWMonitor.  We then restarted the system and left it idling at the desktop for 10 minutes before recording temperatures. The temperatures recorded are based on an ambient temperature of 20 degrees C.

We can see that the thermal performance of the H80i GT is fairy good, although it lags behind the H100i GTX by a fair margin.  The configuration options available in the Corsair Link software will allow you to set up the cooler to achieve the ideal balance between cooling performance and acoustics.
