Liquid Cooling : Corsair h100i v2 vs h115i

Solution
Any water cooling temps ultimately depend on the radiator and the fans. Bigger radiator is more cooling, and there are very few exceptions to that. Is it worth the money? It depends on how cool you want to keep your CPU. H100i v2 will probably keep your CPU under 60C even under the heaviest loads, and leaves quite a bit of room for moderate overclocking as well. If you're going to be doing higher end overclocking you may want the 115i.

Solution
The difference in temperature isn't worth the difference in price. Usually the bigger the radiator the better the temps, and that is true in this case aswell, but not by very much. As a side note: If you do go with the H100i in the end, the fans are atrociously loud and you will find yourself replacing them, just keep that in mind.
