Charbel Bernaba · Aug 29, 2017

I just upgraded from air cooler Phantek PH-TC14PE to corsair h100i v2 is the h100iv2 good lowering the temps? while gaming
?

well yes it will keep your CPU more cool then your current air cooler

geofelt · Aug 29, 2017

I think you wasted your money.

But, since you have already bought, do some testing and let us know how well you did.

What is the make/model of your case, cpu and gpu??

How did i actually waste my money while my phantek air cooler giving me 35c idle and 70c-80c gaming ? i have the phantek enthoo pro and cpu is core i7 6700k and asus rog 1070 gpu let alone the giant look that keeps my access to the rams blocked

What are your idle and gaming temperatures now?
What you had before was nominal and not a problem.

As to looks, if you value that highly, then ok.

Air coolers are better in Life as campared to AIO you never know when its gonna fail keep your air cooler to just in case

Like i always thought liquid is better than air for some reasons as i don't see no aircoolers in 2017 builds no more

geofelt · Aug 29, 2017

Liquid cooling is really air cooling, it just puts the heat exchange in a different place.
The orientation of the radiator will cause a problem.
If you orient it to take in cool air from the outside, you will cool the cpu better, but the hot air then circulates inside the case heating up the graphics card and motherboard.
If you orient it to exhaust(which I think is better) , then your cpu cooling will be less effective because it uses pre heated case air.
Because radiators are somewhat restrictive, a liquid cooler needs a stronger and noisier fan than a liquid cooler.
And... an air cooler will never leak.

Really, though, I am very interested in your actual temperature experience.

So when i receive my cooler should i order 2 more fans to do the push and pull setup?

nitinvaid20 · Aug 29, 2017

Charbel Bernaba :

that wont help that wont help that much th stock ones are enofgh you should test it and let us know

i am using an AIR cooler after AIO and i am happy with it its the cooler master master air meker 8 and i think its released in 2017 right?

as i mentined above there life
you never know when the pump gonna fail
the corsair has a warranty of 5 years but with in its warranty its dead for like 3 times and i have to live with the stock cooler in the mean time
and finally when its dead 4th time it was out of warranty so i decided no AIO for me

geofelt · Aug 29, 2017

AHH... it is on order.
You must decide if you value looks sufficiently.
Me, I would return it unopened and spend the money on something functionally better.
Perhaps a ssd.

And leave my temps while at 80c o.o im talking 80c the first 5 min of the game imagine hours?

nitinvaid20 · Aug 29, 2017

Charbel Bernaba :

how much you have OC?
may be your current CPU is blocked by the DUST

it looks like you really want the AIO you can buy it afterall its your money

Charbel Bernaba · Aug 29, 2017

nitinvaid20 :

No i don't. i want a solution for my problem that's what i want i tried to reapply the thermal paste and clean all dust it's not working for some reasons i tried to put my air cooler all over again and still not working. and im not even overclocking

well if you are not even OC then there is a problem
what are your ambient tempratures?
how good is the airflow in your case?

geofelt · Aug 29, 2017

35c. idle and 80c. under load is not a problem.
The processor will slow down or shut off to protect itself from damage. That point is around 100c.

The Phanteks PH-TC14PE is one of the best coolers.
If your case has sufficient front intake airflow you should have no problem.
A pair of 120/140mm front intakes is very good.

How hot a I6-6700K gets is determined by your luck in getting a good chip and what vcore you need to reach a given Overclock.
As of 12/04/2016
What percent can get an overclock at a somewhat sane 1.4v Vcore.

I7-6700K
4.9 5%
4.8 21%
4.7 64%
4.6 96%

I upgraded to h100iv2?
