Corsair H100

Has anyone tried it? Will it work properly on a Dual Booted Windowtosh? Are there any problems with it?

i just ordered one to replace my h100
i emailed corsair support and i got the following response
Sorry to inform you that H100i does not support MacOS at all. Thank you.
So i need to setup all my settings in windows before i boot up OS X? I have been reading online that most people are informed to update the firmware on their h100i
 
the Corsair link gets recognized by OS X in system report. Hopefully a corsair link for OS X comes out soon. I am going to try controlling it thru VMware and see if it works. The H100 is noticeably louder than the H100

thanks for the advice guys, so it just sounds like im going to need windows to update the h100i so that it won't make alot of noise. Also, the Mac OS won't sleep. right?
 
I'd be very surprised to see any of the "smart cooling" or "smart power supply" software, not to mention Windows-based overclocking utilities, ever show up in an official Mac OS X version. Maybe the protocols are simple enough that some Hackintosher can figure out how to write an equivalent? A Linux driver may be relatively close and require only minor tweaking? Why would the manufacturers ever bother to write Mac drivers- these products will, by definition, never appear in an official Mac - unlike PCIe cards for which drivers show up because of the Mac Pro, there is NO Apple product that has a choice of fans or power supplies.

So what if I don't plan on dual booting and I wish for it to function normally? (as in i dont care about fancy LED settings, but I need it to perform reliably and do what it's supposed to do as a cooler) Would I just unplug the USB connection in this case? What do I lose in doing so? Sorry for all the questions ^.^" thanks!

You can't change the RPM on the fans. That's it. I think the stock RPM and temp settings are fine though, so it's not necessary. However, I advise you to order SP120 quet edition fans to replace the stock fans. The stock fans/fan engines have this annoying high pitch whining noise. You can hear it clearly even if you have music on (semi-low volume). Really suck during the night.
