I was browsing newegg for the H100i but I found a refurbished one which seems to always be cheaper. Aren't they the same cooler with the same performance or am I getting something wrong?
I would say stay away from "refurbished" anythings! They often work fine in the first few weeks and then after tthat you start having minor problems that only get worse.
H100i is H100i. Refurb has less of a warranty, but is checked at the factory to make sure it's performing up to spec. Some one sends one in for warranty service and they fix it and re-certify it.
