Why? Because once you buy an AIO, a better one comes in and you replace the entire kit to buy a new one again. Building your own is the way to go period.
Corsair has some serious worries about it already. Not to mention that it’s going to be priced head-to-head with the H100i. Though, the Swiffy H220 IS going to blow and kick the dog shit out of these coolers out of the water… it has a pump similar to the MCP35x, which pushes A TON of more head pressure and GPM than the weak arse 50-75 GPM pumps of the Corsair AIO’s. I haven’t had a single issue with either my H100 nor my H80 I’ve been using on my secondary machine for 1.5 years, they’ve been pretty nice so far. Which is why a number of Corsair AIO’s (especially the H50 and the H80) have either had their pumps fail or leak in months time… very high quality my ass. This is why those who are into getting the real low-down should not trust “buyer” review sits like those, and only put their trust in Genuine Reviewers who obviously have integrity like PCPER.
CORSAIR HYDRO SERIES H80I V2 FOR 60 BUCKS PLUS
If you read the reviews on Newegg, and Amazon though I think people were on Drugs or just plain lying because out of the hundred plus units we have gone through I have to admit, there should be 100% satisfaction. We have yet to get a single unit that has an issue. We have been testing some of these for a while now, and man are we happy with them. We are very proud of Corsair for improving on the few area’s that were of concern to us. With that being said, we are gearing up to include all of these units in our Corsair Combo Kits because of those two main reasons. And two, these units are of VERY high quality. One, they are one of the rare companies who actually stand behind their products 100%. Okay let us just say this, we almost exclusively sell Corsair Coolers for two reasons.
