exactly as the title says i am wondering if getting a refurbished H100i (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181061) or if i should get a brand new corsair H60 (http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Series-Performance-Liquid-Cooler/dp/B00A0HZMGA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398096994&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair+h60)
i currently have an amd fx8350 and my case is an nzxt phantom 410

Def. the refurbished one if you are fine with refurbished products. The h100 is a really good cooler so you can get a pretty good overclock. The h60 is as good as a decent aftermarket air cooler. I have an h60 in one of my systems, but it's just to keep it quiet (its not overclocked).

I am running the H60 on my overclocked 8320 and i love it. At idle im 27C in a 20C room. During a good gaming session I run right around 40. In prime94 i hit about 51. To me those are impressive numbers. Personally I would have a hard time buying a refurbished cooler, but to be clear i have no experience with them.

It's a liquid cooler. What is the warranty on the refurbished h-100 now? The same as a new unit? Or 90 days. And is it still covered by corsair now being refurbished by newegg? Might want to look into that. Corsair will cover ANY pc damage caused by a leak. Will newegg? Will Corsair on a refurbished newegg unit?.....
