h80i or h100i for FX 8320 or 8350

Hi All,

Currently i have Raidmax Raptor as a case.
I will be upgrading this june 2014 my CPU and possibly my cooler.
I am eyeing out either h80i or h100i.
PS if i choose h100i, i would change my case first.

So which should i choose? The thick radiator h80i? or the long h100i?
I know its just a mere 2-3c difference in terms of temp.
But will it be worth it?

Thanks

I will recommend a CM Hyper 212 EVO. Unless you are severely overclocking, the H100i will provide no benefit other than temperature. The Hyper 212 EVO has almost the same cooling performance as the H80i while being 60 USD cheaper.

Whoa, thank you for saying this. I was thinking of buying a water cooler, because my FX-8320 is kinda getting hot and im using the hyper 212 EVO. Someone even told me it shouldnt be this hot.

anyone have reviews, or tests? links?
