Corsair H55 Cooler Installation Guide for AMD and Intel Motherboards

Описание: Video tutorial on how the new and improved Corsair H55 mounting mechanism is installed on both AMD and Intel motherboards. Compared to the old twist and lock design, the new retention mechanism basically just adds a plastic locking ring so the retention ring is installed on the pump before placing it on the back plate so the installation is a lot easier compared to the mounting mechanism on the Corsair H50/H70 which required users to install the retention ring on the backplate first before installing the pump. For some reason, the manual for the Corsair H55 does not reflect this convenient update and makes no reference to a new plastic mounting lock.

The Corsair H55 is a self-contained liquid cooling system that utilizes a lower profile, ideal for smaller cases. The Corsair H55 is an updated Asetek design that improves upon certain features of the older generation Corsair H50. A durable yet flexible rubber hose replaces the ribbed tubing of the H50 and the copper contact surface is now also highly polished. Corsair's H55 cooler includes motherboard mounting support for Intel LGA 1155, 1156, 1366 and 2011 sockets as well as AMD AM3, AM2, AM3+, FM1 and FM2 sockets. Corsair is confident with their new H55 self-contained liquid CPU cooler that it is backed with a 5-year warranty, three more years compared to the Corsair H50 CPU cooler.
