Corsair H80i v2 120mm AIO CPU Cooler Review

Performance

This is a high-end AIO cooler, so it’s not surprisingly that it made easy work of our CPU at stock clocks. Running at +26c at load, it’s easily on par with many other high-end coolers, but this is too easy, so let’s dial up the heat.

When pushed, we can see that it’s running at +37c which put it right into the high-end section of our chart. Not the best results we’ve ever seen, but for a 120mm mounting AIO, this is pretty darn impressive and more than enough to run your OC full time.

Amazingly, the V2 is one of the quietest coolers we’ve tested, sitting right down near the bottom of our chart. The fans hardly had to work to keep good airflow.

The fans definitely had to work a little hardware while overclocking, moving the v2 to almost the top of our chart, but still in line with other dual fan 120mm solutions and since the temperatures were so good, I’d feel comfortable dialing back the fan profile to balance acoustics and temperatures better.
