Bigcyco1 review on why you do not buy H-100. I will start with not worth it's price also has a high risk of failure here just a couple sources to get my point across:

http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?t=99361 temperatures, the NH-D14 and H100 preform almost the same, except that the NH-D14 is much more quiet.The H-100 has to have its loud stock fans on high to barley beat the NH-D14 by 3C that is not worth $30.00 more for they are terrible cooling/value, it's sad that consumer see "Water-cooling" (IMO this is " fisher price fake" water cooling in that it's all in a closed loop) and they think it'll cool the best.It's like owning a big wheel a joke as well as disgrace some may disagree.However the temps speak for itself, a $75.00 air cooler can practically cool within a margin of error , if not beat, a $110 closed-loop WC solution with the DBA being similar.Ain't that Sad. Anyway i suggest (the NH-D14 or Silver Arrow)
And "here a review" with noise levels and cooling performance compared to the Silver Arrow.

Notice how the H100 only beats the Silver Arrow by 1.2 degrees when on max, and one degree when on medium, which is basically just bumping into limitations of any cooling system that is not sub-ambient. Looking at the overclocked results when such a limitation is not present, the H100's lead expands to 1.3 degrees on max, only ties it on medium.
Now look at this noise chart.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5054/corsair-hydro-series-h60-h80-and-h100-reviewed/6
Notice how the Silver Arrow is significantly quieter than the H100 unless you set the H100 to its lowest setting. The Silver Arrow is a whopping 4.6c cooler than the H100 on low, and the H100's lead in noise is only 1.3 dB. On medium it's five dB louder (which only tied the Silver Arrow in cooling), and remember dB is a logarithmic scale, five dB is not a small difference. On max, the only setting that beat the Silver Arrow in cooling, it's an astounding 9.3 dB louder. That is nearly ten times as loud.
The H100 is louder and more expensive than top of the line air coolers and can only outperform them when it's producing much more noise. Nearly ten times as much noise, to be precise. If you are strictly considering budget and performance, the Corsair units are far and away a pointless investment compared to air cooling solutions that perform on-par for less money.
This is the main point i been trying to make about these fisher price watercoolig loops on forums and it's been a hell of a task.It's misguided misconceptions like these why so many people do not understand watercooling in the first place. A Rasa 240 RS kit starts about twenty dollars more than the H100 and will mop the floor with it any day of the week. I am not sure where you are shopping but H-100 retail @ $109.99 take into account replacing those loud fans and it's going to end costing you as much as 240 RS kit.Bottom line...

all preform just as well as the H-100 and cost a good chunk of coin less.
XSPC Rasa 240 for $129 You either choose a good air cooler those will provide the same cooling ability or step it up to real watercooling, based on misguided misconceptions , you buy a LC Corsair H-Series unit to say you "watercool", but do not get any better results than air cooling,that's retarded think about it.
