Corsair H100i or good air cooling?

Echocookie · Jun 23, 2014

Hey guys I am planning an upcoming build and I want the most bang for my buck. What I need to know is if it is worth it to get water cooling for my CPU.

I will be using a FX-8350 paired with a Sabertooth 990fx R2.0.

I can get the H100i as low as $60, but is there really a difference between good air cooling? Also, which air cooling should I get if that would be a better option. I am looking to overclock as much as I can with this build.

Thanks for any help and advice!

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 65.0 CFM CPU Cooler ($64.99 @ NCIX US)
Total: $64.99
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

this is something that could compete with such performance. you will have great overclocking performance with any of these options.mind the size though as they wont fit in any case! (if we are talking about a new product 60$ is a great price for h100i)

Go with the Corsair H100i. It has low form factor and low noise. I have an H80i on my 8350 and it's currently overclocked to 4.7GHZ stable and typically running at 50'C-57'C under prime95 stress test loads. There is no maintenance on the H100i either.

Also the Cosair is suppose to have a 5 year warranty against leaks. I do not know all the details. That would be better than
a sharpe stick in the eye.

I honestly hate almost all of the aio coolers except for the swiftech h220 that is priced at $150 USD. Even if you get a 120mm rad kit it still destroys pretty much all of the 240mm aio coolers, the pumps are 3-5x stronger than the aios. If you want to put some time and research into learning how to water cool, which is really easy by the way just get http://www.aquatuning.us/product_info.php/info/p13668_Alphacool-NexXxoS-Cool-Answer-120-LT-ST---kit.html Even though it is only a 120mm rad it still performs a lot better than most aios

lfkfkfkffs :

That's awesome, I was unaware that they had kits put together. I would definitely put my money on this is kit if I knew about it before and wasn't planning on a much more in depth dual loop system on my next build.

Got any more sites for kits lfkfkfkffs? I kinda want to pa ruse around a bit to see if some stuff might work for my brother or my girlfriends builds.

Aquatuning is the cheapest out there right now. Frozencpu is really overpriced for their kits. You could do something like http://www.aquatuning.us/product_info.php/info/p13753_Alphacool-NexXxoS-Cool-Answer-240-DDC-XT---kit.html I'm not a fan of any type of bay res though, you could do something like http://www.aquatuning.us/product_info.php/info/p16021_Phobya-Pure-Performance-Kit-240LT.html which is cheaper but is a little bit harder to install. Just look around on their site for kits.
