Hey!
I have a Corsair H100 for awhile now in push and pull settings but kept getting sort of high temps (In my opinion).
Thermal Paste: IC Diamond | Antec Formula 7
I use pretty much the top of the line thermal paste, but still get up to 62C at a 4.5Ghz (1.36v) overclock.
A friend of mine, with all the same parts, including a Corsair H100 fitted into a NZXT Phantom, gets up to 54-55C at 4.6Ghz (1.39v) overclock.
*We Also use the same thermal Paste*
To measure the temperature we ran Prime 95's Blend test, and between the two of us, his room ambient temperature is 2C Higher.
Why is it like this? He doesn't use the top 200mm on the phantom, only a push setting with two 120mm fans that came with the Corsair H100, while i use the same push system, i also have a pull system with two 200mm NZXT Performance fans (166CFM each) at the top blowing out.
Hope someone can shed some light :lol:
