FREMONT, CA, November 1st, 2018 – CORSAIR®, a world leader in PC gaming peripherals and enthusiast components, today launched the latest in its line of best-selling Hydro Series all-in-one liquid CPU coolers, the CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i RGB PLATINUM and CORSAIR Hydro Series H115i RGB PLATINUM. The new pair of coolers take the Hydro Series to new heights in both cooling performance and dazzling RGB lighting across both the fans and pump head.

Each of the new entries in the acclaimed Hydro Series range is cooled by a pair of CORSAIR ML PRO Series RGB magnetic levitation PWM fans, delivering the superb airflow and high static pressure needed to cool today’s hottest CPUs. Thanks to the ultra-low friction of their magnetic bearings, they also generate less noise than traditional bearing fans even when spinning at higher RPMs. The H100i RGB PLATINUM comes equipped with two 120mm fans and a 240mm radiator, while the H115i RGB PLATINUM is cooled by two 140mm fans and a 280mm radiator.

As the first Hydro Series coolers to feature customizable RGB lighting on both the fans and the pump head, the H100i and H115i RGB PLATINUM take lighting to a brilliant new level with a whirlwind of color. 16 Individually addressable LEDs in the pump head and four in each fan combine for a total 24 RGB LEDs, heightening your system’s style while lowering its temperatures.

The Hydro Series PLATINUM coolers achieve their extraordinary performance thanks to a thermally optimized copper cold plate and precise PWM control over the fans. The H100i RGB PLATINUM can be set between 400 and 2,400 RPM, while the H115i RGB PLATINUM ranges between 400 and 2,000 RPM. In addition, the low-noise pump design, combined with Zero RPM cooling profiles that can stop the fans entirely at low temperatures, results in exceptionally quiet coolers that efficiently channel heat out of the CPU to the radiator without an excess of distracting noise.

CORSAIR iCUE software brings everything together in a single, easy-to-use interface for powerful control over all of the H100i and H115i RGB PLATINUM’s functions. iCUE allows users to directly control pump and fan speeds, creating custom cooling curves that automatically adjust based on a range of monitored system temperatures. iCUE also enables full customization of the Hydro Series RGB PLATINUM range’s 24 RGB LEDs, allowing you to dynamically change your RGB lighting based on your CPU temperature, or create brilliant lighting patterns and effects, synchronized across all of your CORSAIR iCUE-compatible components and peripherals.

With extreme cooling performance, detailed customization, and killer looks to match, the CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i RGB PLATINUM and CORSAIR Hydro Series H115i RGB PLATINUM set a new standard for all-in-one liquid CPU cooling.

Availability, Warranty and Pricing

The CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i RGB PLATINUM and CORSAIR Hydro Series H115i RGB PLATINUM are available immediately from the CORSAIR worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors, as well as direct from the CORSAIR webstore.

The H100i RGB PLATINUM and H115i RGB PLATINUM are backed by a five-year warranty and the CORSAIR worldwide customer service and technical support network.

Curse of the Wendigo!

In Sideshow Snallygaster, the carnival has come to the Tyler County Fairgrounds. Billy Harding and his dad wander past the games and rides as a sideshow Barker touts a frightful attraction.

The Mothman Cometh!

Not all creatures are of the land; some stalk the skies. One such boogeyman has been reported for generations by mystified West Virginians. The Mothman Cometh! begins in Morgantown Municipal Hospital. We join young Mary Scarberry at her bedside as she wakes, looking a little worse for wear.

The Best of Grafton

The Beast of Grafton takes place in the rural hills near Grafton, where locals have reported a strange creature lurking in the woods. Robbie Cockrell and Peggy Mansfield were out on a date, celebrating Peggy’s birthday, and a full moon loomed large as they drove.

Players can upgrade the submersible with installable Submarine Technology and customise the Nautilon to stand out from their fellow explorers.

Submersible Building Modules: More than a dozen new base parts have been added to unlock more creative possibilities underwater. Players can construct the new Marine Shelter for brief respite from the oceanic pressure, and use its protection to reach new depths.

Players can now bring their aquatic life into a habitat with a decorative indoor aquarium.

Flora and Fauna: The variety and visual quality of underwater biomes has been greatly improved. Players can now experience rare exotic aquatic biomes as they explore new depths. Underwater creatures have become more frequent, and more interesting. Aquatic life inhabits the full depth of the ocean, and unique terrifying creatures can be encountered on the ocean floor.

Sunken Wrecks and Ancient Treasures: Investigate sunken ruins and find ancient treasures or dive to submerged buildings to find remnants of their lost occupants. Discover and scavenge lost cargo from gigantic freighter wrecks. Use the terrain manipulator to excavate treasures buried in the nearby ocean floor.
