Hello everyone! I gathered my system at past october and my cpu + case are still with their stock coolers, as summer coming by my system got louder/hotter so i have to do replacements and changes. I am thinking to buy corsair h100i, 4x corsair sp120(i don't have a lot of option with fans) and 2x corsair af120(these 2 will be added on later). i am posting a image for fan placements. So the big question is, are these choices good enough for my system? Thanks for help! :)

Corsair C70

The H100i is a great match for this CPU. You don't really *NEED* to change the fans, but the SP 120 is a good choice that will offer very good performance/noise balance.

You don't need 4. The cooler does great with just 2. I have my 2 SP120's mounted on the radiator in push, top exhaust. At the OC in my Sig it peaks at 52c or so with a custom, semi-quiet fan curve.

Remember to download the Corsair Link software and set your fan curve. ;)


I also recently purchased an H110 and a friend got an NZXT X60. Both of these are also excellent coolers, but use 2 x 140mm fan mounts. The H110 needs a 20mm spacing between fan mounting bolt centerlines. Not sure about the X60 but it is likely the same/similar.
