I'm looking at putting one of these in my system, I was wondering if any of you know which one is better. I would like to go for the quieter one, but if one has a significant cooling increase to the other I'll go with the louder one.

Thanks!

The H80i would be my recommendation.

The Kraken X40 needs to run at full bore to produce decent cooling results.

Even when the Kraken X40 is running at full bore it's cooling performance isn't as good as the Corsair H80i running in balanced mode (i.e. best cooling to noise balance).
