I'm certainly interested in seeing the performance level of the H100. The only thing that concerns me is that it would be almost mandatory to have it set as an exhaust setup. And in a dual GPU rig that dumps air inside the case like mine, that could seriously hamper it's numbers. Perhaps when it gets reviewed, the reviewer would be kind enough to consider that testing scenario...?

IT is something to consider, remember though if the Reviewer doesn't have the hardware you want him to test with its kinda hard.
Unless of course you are offering your hardware..

Besides the slightly modified mounting solution, what's the difference between the H80 and the currently available Hx0 series of coolers?

I've had an H100 preordered for a while now, last I heard is it should be next week, so hopefully that will be the case as I'm anxious to see how it performs!

The pump and head on it are different from the H70 which is what I would imagine is replacing it.
PLus the inclusion of the software controls.
All in all, that should make it a purchase worth considering.

H50 first model
H70 second model which had a MUCH larger radiator and came with two fans
H60 third model with smaller radiator, one fan and a MUCH better pump and mounting mechanism

And now these two guys and the H80 will most likely replace the H60 and the H100 well its a dual rad :D

The H60 replaces the H50 and the H80 replaces the H70.

The H50/H70 are by Asetek
The H60/H80/H100 are all by Coolit

Just bought the H60... :(
Now want the H80 so bad!

If the reviewer was in my area and is willing to have me stop over with my gpu's during that portion of testing, I wouldn't be opposed to it. A small chunk of my time for a review that covers a wider range of scenarios seems like a good trade.
