I like the fact that the whole thing is pre-built for you so you don't have to faf around with all the different parts of a water cooling-setup (with associated leaks). You can just fit it and you're done.

great comp guys
What I've always liked about the hydro series is the ease of use and the flexibility of the size/space, because the radiator doesn't have to be mounted where the cpu socket is, so it can be used in cases where cpu socket space makes it impossible to fit a large cpu cooler.
EDIT: Plus I want to get my grubby mitts on one but cannot justify the expenditure.![]()

Quiet, simple and effective. Thats the H series in a nutshell.
I have always wanted water cooling.

I never tried a Corsair Hydro series cooler! I like them because they are easy to mount and in no time you get a water cooled system!
I'd love to do water cooling, but just dont need it for my main PC. good luck everyone else.
I think the ease of install is good, but the winner for me is how I can direct the airflow through my case and around my chipsets without a large heatsink getting in the way. :-)
Quiet and effective, what's not to love? The reviews look good, so I think it's going to be time for me to switch away from air cooling soon. Plus it leaves lots of space on the motherboard to make building easy.
The best thing about the Corsair Hydro series is that they can often be fitted into htpc/low profile cases in place of a low profile heatsink, yet they perform as well as, or even better than, top end air coolers
I would love to have 1 of this, since I've never tried water cooling before.
I like that the Hydro series lets "noobs" (like me) dip their toe into water-cooling without having to get involved with the more complex high end gear - I'd love to try one of these out

Easy to install and integrate.
