This Corsair Hydro series cooler is a self-contained CPU liquid-cooling solution with a copper base. It is designed as an all-in-one alternative to the normal CPU heatsink/fan units found in most computers. The advantage the Corsair Hydro offers over air-cooling is the ability to keep hot-running processors at lower temperatures. This allows the use of higher wattage CPUs, and can allow better overclocking performance as well.
This specific model, the Hydro H60, uses a single 120mm fan to mount and cool the radiator. That means it only works in a chassis where there is a 120mm fan mount near the CPU, and where the airflow layout allows for both fresh air intake over the radiator and nearby exhaust of the hot air as well. For mounting it comes with hardware to fit almost all modern Intel and AMD sockets. This third revision features several upgrades: a SATA power connector for the pump, more flexible tubing, an improved copper cold plate, increased surface area on the radiator fins, a higher quality 120mm fan, and a white LED backlit logo.

Jeff Stubbers (Tier 3 Sales SME) Says:
This is a very nice self-contained, fully-sealed liquid cooled CPU cooler. These have been very reliable, and is the go-to choice when you plan to overclock your processor. If you are not overclocking, then I would recommend the air-cooled CPU cooler option which will be more quiet and have less moving parts that may potentially fail.
