Good day to all,
As of this moment in time, I am building a new computer with the following (basic) configuration, already mentioned partially and as a preliminary thought elsewhere, here:
- Motherboard Asus Z170 Pro
- CPU Intel i7-6700k
- RAM G.Skill TridentZ, 32GB, 3200 MHz F4-3200C16Q-32GTZ
- GPU XFX R9 380 4GB, DD (R9-380P-4DF5)
- PSU Corsair HX1050
- System Disc(s) 2 x Samsung 850 EVO 120GB SSD MZ-75E120B/AM in RAID 0 mode
As I am stating in the title of this thread, I have in my possesssion two Corsair water cooling systems, the older H80 and the newer H110i. I intend to do a moderate overclocking of the system, therefore I assume that the use of water cooling is a "must".
One of these two Corsair coolers will anyway be used for this purpose. The remaining Corsair cooler will be used on another computer, with an Intel Xeon X5492 CPU, which is also under construction.
The question:
Are both of them somehow appropriate to cool the i7 at an adequate level under a moderate overclocking, say something like 4.5 GHz?
The reason I am asking this is to come to the correct decision what would be the most appropriate computer case, to house the system. Right now, I also have in my possession two Lian Li cases, coming from the past, but still in great shape and certainly good enough to accept the components of the new PC. One is the Lian Li A-71B (black) case and the other is the Lian Li PC-A10A (silver) case. In pure terms of aesthetic, I prefer the PC-A10A case, but this will hardly accept or may not accept at all the H110i. Thus, the question of the choice between the H80 and the H110i.
Your input will be higly appreciated.
