I want to buy a cooler for my cpu because it runs too hot under load with the stock cooler(67 degrees).

I have been checking out two different coolers.

Cooler Master Seidon 120v
http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/product.php?product_id=...

Corsair H80i.
http://www.corsair.com/us/cpu-cooling-kits/hydro-series...

The Cooler Master 120v sells for $53
The Corsair H80i sells for $120

Is the Corsair H80i worth double the price of the CM 120v?

I am running an AMD 8350 and don't plan to overclock it very much as it runs fast enough at the moment in my opinion. I might increase it to maybe up to 4.2 or 4.3 ghz. However, I am most concerned about temperatures.

I am also checking out a CM 212 evo as a cheap option, but I don't really want to have a huge heat sink cluttering up my motherboard.


You advice would be greatly appreciated.


I also live in Taiwan, so please do not send me links to sites such as Newegg.com as I cannot use their services.

As SR-71 Blackbird says the H80i would be my choice. My 2nd rig runs the H80 with an 8350 and runs very cool (low 30s at idle, low 50s while gaming)

So the H80i is worth the extra 70 bucks?

When you work the 8350 hard enough it takes a lot to cool it. The H80i should easily do this, so yes it's worth it.

I will consider the H80i. Like I said, I am more concerned about cooling than OC at the moment. I did a stress test on my 8350 CPU and the temps got up to 67c. I would like get the temps down to around 50c. If there is room to OC, then I might do it. Right now the 8350 is fast enough at stock speeds.
