Prefilled Water Cooling Just Got A Lot More Compact With Corsair H5 SF

[kcarbotte]

Corsair has announced the immediate availability of its new small form factor H5 SF closed loop cooler. The compact water cooling solution is designed specifically for Mini-ITX motherboards, and it should fit in practically any small form factor case.

That is a very interesting design. Might allow for higher end products in tighter spaces.

Gotta wait and see the reviews I guess.

Nice to see non-conventional designs...though, temps will tell if it's a winner.

It reminds me alot of a GPU blower cooler...

I like that design, nice to see something new.
I am skeptical of the blower style fan (if the noise level is low then I'm all for it). Im interested to see how well it performs however.

Available on Newegg now if anyone is interested. Ordered one for my 380T that I was just putting together. Good timing Corsair!

Interesting, I can barely fit a closed loop in my RVZ01 and that was the only thing keeping me from upgrading to the smaller RVZ02. This could solve that.

Let us know how that thing performs!

That bracket to fit into the existing uITX motherboard mount holes is really smart and cool.

Looks like they are using this with their premade "Bulldog" PC.

No specs listed for case size but that looks like they crammed a lot of high end components into a fairly small case. Good idea of what you might be able to do with it.

I wouldn't hold your breath. As stated this is designed for their bulldog system. The case for that system is far wider than the RVZ02. This might fit in your RVZ01 though.

I really like the unconventional design of this cooler; time and reviews will tell if the fan noise and temps are up to par. Having just recently built a SFF M-ITX build for my dad, I will say that motherboard compatibility shouldn't be a problem, but case choice definitely will. I used a Cooler Master Elite 130 in that build and the PSU mounts above the mobo effectively keeping a design like this from working in that case and I assume others with similar design.

Just ordered one for myself as well. Going to try and see if I can fit it in the SilverStone FTZ01 without modding anything. Currently using a BeQuiet! Shadow Rock LP

So this is made by CoolIT and uses the same block/Pump as the H100i/H80i.

The only issue I can see here will be the noise of the blower fan since its non replaceable. Awaiting to see the test reviews on this.

 

[surphninja]

I'm interested to see if this lives up to the promised performance, and especially noise level.

It's really awesome to see more options coming out for those who want high end gaming in low-profile, mini-itx form factors. Not everyone wants a giant, neon glowing, monster of a tower.

 

[Vogner16]

and its only $80. that's cheap!

 

[stoned_ritual]

This overpriced child's toy does not offer any of the advantages of water cooling. But then again, no CLC does. I can't wait for this trend to be over.

 

[BulkZerker]

That radiator doesn't have a lot of surface area. I'll be surprised if it can compete with tower coolers in that price range.

If it can, great. Everyone wins.

 

[clonazepam]

It's worth more than the APU I want to cool. I think I'd be better off with a newer APU but it would be fun to mess around with.

 

[Sakkura]

Pointless compared to air cooling. More expensive and louder, without improving temperatures.

Technical specifications

Radiator dimensions: 167mm x 40mm x 57mm
Total cooler height: 84mm
Fan dimensions: 120mm x 32mm
Fan speed: 1000 - 1800 RPM


Fan airflow: 12 - 24 CFM
Fan pressure: 2.5 - 8.3 mmH2O
Fan noise level: 36 - 42 dB(A)

I7 4790X @ 84 watts 69 C

Yeah, it's a blower fan...

There is a reason GPU makers forgo the stock cooler and have been designing their own open fan concepts.

 

[Joe_65]

Just stumbled across this and couldn't help but think it looks like he has a hemi on his motherboard.

 

[clonazepam]

I'd like to see it go up against the leading competitors, including a scythe shuriken II. The total cooler height of 84mm is possibly one of the more appealing aspects? Considering small cube cases, etc.

 

[Lutfij]

I don't suppose this cooler will be compatible with AMD mitx boards...?

Edit:
I've found my answer

proof? I cant find any reviews yet. I suspect it will be on par with most huge air coolers though. That would be sad.
