Could a Corsair Hydro H80i GT be able to cool an i7-4790K enough?

Titration · Nov 17, 2015

Just a simple question if the H80i GT liquid cooler is enough to cool the i7-4790K.

Any answer appreciated, thanks

glamdringfh · Nov 17, 2015

Yes.

Here is a test on that exact CPU/ heatsink combo run by guru3d: http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/corsair-h80i-gt-review,11.html

Their overclocked i7-4790K idled at 33c, maxed out at 73c. Both perfectly healthy temps for an intel CPU.

Here's an Intel CPU Heat guide for reference if you want to see data on what is considered healthy CPU temps: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1808604/intel-temperature-guide.html

Thanks very much for the quick answer

Going to be upgrading my PC ine the coming months so I want to make sure I have some nice and not too expensive cooling

You're most welcome, best of luck with the upgrades.

Should be good enough, I would think it should be fine, perhaps a lil noisier than you expect. Also note the above article is @ 1.3V and 4.6Ghz. I wouldn't take the voltage that high and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't normally either, but It may have just been a standard for the benchmark.

My PC is loud anyway xD. Do you think my current PSU is enough? It's a 750 W and I'm running a 970 SC, a very small motherboard (getting new MB soon, mostlikely a MSi Z97 Gaming 7), a 2 TB harddrive and a 120 GB SSD. Really don't want to spend more money on a new PSU too.

That depends on the model, but I see no reason why it wouldn't be fine.

It's a corsair CX 750

It's not the best but a cx 600 is more than enough to power your system.

Ok, thanks, got worried that I wouldn't have enough

You can always tone down the noise if you like via Corsair Link. The H80i GT is C link compatible, might as well take advantage of it and set your own noise/performance preference.

If he wants to overclock that is, the op made no mention of that

Eh, doesn't bother me too much, only if others can hear it on my mic I'll have to do something about it

Thanks anyways
