Fremont, California – August 4, 2010 – Corsair®, a worldwide designer and supplier of components to the PC gaming hardware market, today announced the Corsair Hydro Series™ H70 ultra-performance CPU cooler. This CPU cooler is designed to provide an extremely efficient cooling solution for CPUs from Intel® and AMD.
The Hydro Series H70 CPU cooler is an evolution of the award-winning Hydro Series H50, with several significant upgrades that enable it to deliver even greater cooling performance. These upgrades include a double-thickness (50mm) radiator with higher heat-exchanging capacity and a pump/cold plate unit with increased efficiency. The H70 also features two 120mm speed-switchable cooling fans in a push-pull configuration to provide increased airflow at low noise levels.
“Thanks to the H70, you no longer need a fin array the size of a small shoebox to cool aggressively overclocked CPUs,” stated John Beekley, VP of Technical Marketing at Corsair. “The H70 stands toe-to-toe with any CPU cooler on the market, and does it with less noise, easier installation, and support of nearly every ATX-compatible case.
Like the wildly popular H50, the Hydro Series H70 provides the benefits of water cooling in a sealed and pre-filled unit, with no maintenance required. The low profile cold plate is extremely space efficient, and is very low in mass compared to heat pipe based solutions, putting less stress on the system’s motherboard. The H70 includes mounting hardware for most common AMD and Intel CPUs, and, unlike some competitive CPU coolers, includes all necessary fans for high performance operation.
The Corsair Hydro Series H70 CPU Cooler is available immediately from Corsair’s worldwide network of authorized distributors and resellers. It is supplied with a two year warranty, and is backed by Corsair’s legendary customer service and technical support.

After rumours of the Corsair H70 a few days ago, i was actually thinking what improvements this entry level build in CPU water cooling kit will bring upon. It seems that it has made the contact with the CPU much flatter and generally better looking with the huge logo on it. From what I see, the base is flatter, bringing a higher surface area in contact with the CPU, conducting heat away faster. Besides that, I don’t see any much difference between the 2. There are also A series in the market from Corsair which are their air coolers, if you’re interested you can check them out as well. However, these entry level CPU water coolers can never be compared to a custom water cooling loop. However, they do perform better than most air coolers. Depending on your budget of you next build, you may want to consider the H70 since it is already available now on the market. If you want things to be kept simple, it could be a good choice as well.
