The Hydro Series H40: Reliable liquid cooling performance at an affordable price.

The H40 is a closed-loop, maintenance free solution that installs in just a few minutes.

 

With the Hydro Series H40, the age of liquid CPU cooling for everybody has arrived.

Liquid CPU cooling has traditionally been a potentially messy experience and priced to make sense only for highly overclocked systems. The fact is that liquid CPU cooling is a good idea for just about every PC — it can improve reliability and extend the life of your processor. Hydro Series liquid CPU coolers are closed-loop, maintenance free solutions that install in just a few minutes. If you're not trying to break overclocking records and you're just looking for simple and reliable cooling for your gaming rig, take a look at the H40.

Quiet, Compact and Compatible.

Liquid cooling efficiency and a custom-designed fan ensure operation that's both cooler and quieter than most stock CPU fans. The small form factor and flexible tubing allow the Hydro Series H40 to fit in most PC gaming systems. It works with most modern AMD and Intel sockets, and the illustrated Quick Start Guide makes it easy, even if you're a cooling novice.

The H40's small form factor and flexible tubing allows it to fit in most gaming PC's.

Corsair Hydro Series makes it easy to go liquid.

Easy installation, zero maintenance.

You no longer need to invest into complex modular watercooling systems with half a dozen components to get serious CPU cooling performance. Each Hydro Series Liquid CPU Cooler is a sealed, closed-loop system that comes pre-filled and never needs refilling. Even the thermal compound is pre-applied. You'll be up and running in minutes.

Corsair H50s in Clash of the Titans

By Mike Clements, on April 30th, 2013

NVIDIA has unleashed a Titan among us mortals. The new NVIDIA GTX Titan GPU offers amazing graphics processing power while consuming up to 250w of power. The stock cooling setup on these cards looks pretty impressive but of course, there are always people out there that are not content with stock.

Recently, I stumbled across a system build thread over at the EVGA forums. Member "dustingg" has taken two Hydro Series H50 CPU coolers and with some slight tubing modifications, he's attained cooling results rivaling much more expensive custom cooling solutions. We applaud dustingg for his ingenuity and we also really like his choice of PSUs.

Building a system with the Graphite Series 600T Silver Edition and Dominator Platinum memory

By Jeff Checchi, on July 6th, 2012

Recently we announced quite a few new products, and updates to current product lines. Some of the most exciting are the new Dominator Platinum DDR3 memory with LED lighting, and the new Graphite Series 600T Silver mid-tower case. What better time to do a system build than when we have two new products that compliment each other so beautifully! We will also be using our brand new Force Series GS SSD with its fast toggle NAND technology, and our recently updated GS800 PSU. While we are at it, I am going to swap out all the stock fans from the 600T with our new Air Series AF120 Quiet Edition fans, and we will be using our SP120 Quiet Edition fans in place of the stock Hydro Series H100 fans. The silver and blue theme turned out great! If you have never built a system before, or you are not familiar with some of our new products from then check out the video below!
