edit: I do not want to overclock the CPU and leave it as stock. The Hyper 212 evo is a great cooler but since my case doesn't fit a cpu cooler more than 157mm. The evo is 159mm. So i just left with this two corsair hydro series. So which one should i get? The price is $20 difference in singapore. And is it worth having two fans than one fan? Will I get lower temperatures like more than 5 degrees difference?

No issues I've heard of, and nzxt tends to perform very well. The x31 is about in between performance of a h60 and a h80i, its still a 120mm rad. The x41 beats the h80i and can equal if not beat the h100i, but it's a 140mm rad and costs proportionately more.

Just realized the word not is missing. I like the slim profile of H60. The H80 is way too thick inside my case. Some site review the H75 only beat the H60 by 2 degrees.

Haven't heard of this brand. Is this better than the cm hyper 212 evo?

It at least will be equal.Two more options not that expensive,

again about the same performance.Not that performance should matter that much since you're not going to overclock,but with these three options could you try anyway.

I think I might go with the NZXT Kraken x31 since the performance is almost at the level of Corsair H80. Is there any reliability issues with NZXT liquid cooling brand?
