Hello,

I'm currently running a CM Hyper 212 Plus in my Shinobi XL and I was just wondering whether a refurbished H100 for £45 would be a good replacement? I won't be using the stock fans, as I have a pair of excellent 1350rpm Yate Loons sitting around doing nowt.

Regards
Luke
 
well it seems like the Antec 620 (dual thick single rad) is £50 after reabtes etc

the refurbs only have 90 days warranty though which for liquid is meh (Corsair sometimes will replace parts damaged by leak if unit still in warranty[as rare as leaks are])

For 3.9ghz, I don't think there will be any big differences in temps

Don't worry, I was planning on going a little higher than 3.9 - but not on the 6300. I'm replacing it with an i5 soonish. On the other hand, what about this?

Apparently it's the EVGA Superclock with a better mounting system, the Superclock is an old design, then again the H100 and Hyper 212 designs aren't young. Is that worth it?

seems like the Superclock does pretty good though not quite as good as the h100

EDIT: Antec 620 is single thick rad, not double
