Hello guys quick question, what is the difference between the Corsair H60 water cooler and the updated 2013 edition Corsair H60?

I am going to be purchasing one of the two but I don't know which one is ultimately better for me. I have an AMD FX6300 Hexicore CPU which is currently running at 3.5Ghz. I usually play games such as Borderlands or skyrim and want a water cooler to keep my CPU cooler than it currently is with the stock cooler.

Which is the better choice?

Also I will not be overclocking to 4.1Ghz

Thanks!

I am searching for a water cooler similar in size. What closed water coolers do you recommend. Do you have any experiences with water coolers? any recorded temps etc.

Although it is a much bigger unit the H80i seems likely.

I sure am loving my water cooler. CPU running at 4.1Ghz really cool temps. Playing Borderlands 2 high graphics, CPU runs at 27 degrees, never breaching 30!

After much consideration with my uncle (who has the H80i) I decided that I wanted water cooling instead of air cooling. Quieter, better CPU temps and aesthetically it looks SOO smart in my Corsair Carbide 300R case! :D
