Optics and haptics
As far as the general design is concerned, nothing has changed at all with the H170i, apart from the size. One continues to rely on a rather simple design with many corners.
The copper coldplate was not nickel-plated again, but has pre-applied thermal paste.
Hopefully you handled it well during assembly, because that’s all there is to this cooler.
Despite the large “attack surface”, the radiator is almost flawless. Only the frame on the right side seems to have taken a bit of a beating despite the good packaging, but fortunately that doesn’t affect the functionality.
Depending on your taste, this time you can also choose between two different attachments for the pump block. The rather plain black lid is fitted ex works, but the alternative allows considerably more light to shine through.
Still completely unlit, the H170i looks amazingly elegant, the piano lacquer finish on the pump block really makes a statement. As far as keeping fingerprints off of it, of course.
