Corsair today announced the Hydro Series H40 and Hydro Series H70 CORE liquid CPU coolers, as well as the worldwide availability of the 480GB Force Series GT SSD and 180GB and 480GB Force Series 3 SSDs.
Liquid CPU coolers
The Hydro Series H40 is Corsair's new entry-level liquid CPU cooler and is
designed to provide reliable liquid cooling at a price that's affordable for
mainstream computer users. Like all Corsair Hydro Series liquid CPU coolers,
the H40 is a self contained, closed-loop system that comes pre-filled and
never needs refilling. It works with most modern AMD and Intel sockets, and
comes with an illustrated quick start guide to make installation easy even
for CPU cooling novices.
The Hydro Series H70 CORE is based on Corsair's Hydro Series H70 and is
provided without the fans so users can personalize their cooling
performance. It is aimed at experienced PC performance enthusiasts who
already have 120mm fans, or who otherwise wish to supply their own fans. The
H70 CORE includes a 38mm double thick radiator for superior cooling
potential.
The H40 and H70 CORE will be available in October. The Hydro Series H40 has
an MSRP in the United States of $59 USD, and the Hydro Series H70 CORE has
an MSRP in the United States of $89 USD.

asynchronous flash memory technology to deliver strong value and SATA 6Gb/s
performance. The Force Series 3 has out-of-box read and write speeds of up
