Corsair H100i V2 or Kraken x52?

samy111 · Oct 15, 2017

Hi, first of all say that I'm a novice in this theses subjects.

I want install on my pc a liquid cooler, but I can't decide between these two products:

- Kraken x52 240mm
- Corsair Hydro Series H100i V2 240mm

I have a thermaltake lvl 10 GT, and because this i can't install a best AIO. the limit is a 240mm.

Which one do you recommended me?

Thanks for advance.

What CPU do you have? That case does have a CPU cooler limit of 190mm so you can put some high end air cooling which would probably be just as effective and quieter then those.

Thanks for answer.

I don't like air cooler. I have a Cooler Master V8, and I want to give the step to the liquid refrigeration, to initiate and to get used to me.

I have a intel processor I7 6800k 2011-v3

Between those two I'd probably go with the Kraken X52 as it's a good cooler and I'm sure the software is better. When I used Corsair Link it was junk but I suppose it may be better nowadays.

WildCard999 :

Would you know tell me if NZXT guarantee covers components damaged by fluid loss?

I like Kraken x52 but I can not risk having a bad guarantee.

I'm not sure if NZXT will cover it but you can contact them and find out.

Corsair did reimburse ppl who had faulty coolers (H100i V1) but I'm not sure what there policy is now.

Hi.

I contacted with Corsair several days ago, but they didn't answer me. I got tired of waiting and bought the Corsair H100i V2.

I have installed it, but I can not control the temperatures well. In idle start at 24/25 ° C and soon continues to rise to more than 30, without doing anything. Is this normal?

All advice and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for the help!

Greetings

What's your ambient temp? Mine is about 20C ambient temp with idle around 29C & Gaming 65C max. For your 6800K that temp seems reasonable, while the idle temp is fine you should try it in a game or benchmark as I would make sure it stays under 85C. This guide by CompuTronix may help a bit.
