Are you still hunting for that perfect gift for the hardware and technology fan in your life? Or maybe you are looking for recommendations to give to your friends and family about what to buy for YOU? Or maybe you just want something new and cool to play with over the break? Welcome to PC Perspective's 10 Days of Christmas where we will suggest a new item each day for you to consider. Enjoy!
When the Corsair H100i was released two years ago it was an advancement over the original H100 in both cooling and features. The 240mm all-in-one (AIO) liquid cooler features a thicker radiator than the original H100, along with high performance SP120L fans, Corsair Link technology, and many other changes.
Originally selling for $119.99, the H100i is now selling for as little as $89.99 on Amazon which puts it closer to the middle of the AIO market in price for a very high performance part. And the H100i boasts higher convenience than other AIO liquid coolers, with software control provided by Corsair Link and a magnetic mounting system to help keep things in place during the waterblock installation.
You can check out our Corsair AIO liquid cooler roundup here to see how the H100i stacks up, and if you are looking for a nice upgrade for someone with the space for a 240mm radiator this would make a great gift idea!

If you are having trouble picking out a gift for a loved one, consider buying an Amazon.com gift card!

Be careful if you’re using
Be careful if you’re using Windows 8.1-Corsair Link is an unmitigated disaster on that OS. If you do not factor the software into your purchasing decision, then you’ll be fine. But if you have any use for the software, be ready to climb up your walls in sheer frustration at the complete inability on Corsair’s part to fix their crap.
I will grant that Corsair
I will grant that Corsair doesn’t do a good job with the “Link” software. However, if you feel like you need to climb the walls for 3 registry key changes, what the hell are you doing building your own pc let alone installing a water cooling kit? Again (READ THIS), I am not excusing Corsair at all. The software shouldn’t require a registry edit. But of course, GIYF. (Side benefit: for those of us running Hackintoshes, we can issue a command from the Darwin command line to control fan speed.)
This is OK but CM Nepton 280L
