NZXT vs. Corsair CPU Cooling

[erik3165]

Hi guys,

I am looking at buying a computer from ibuypowerpc and was wondering if the community could help me. I have the choice of buying the

-nzxt kraken x40 liquid cooling w/ 140 mm radiator (+$54)

or

the

-Corsair Hydro Series H55 Liquid CPU Cooling System (included in the price)

Which one would you pick and why? also do you think it is worth it to upgrade to the nzxt kraken or should i stay with the corsair.


Thanks,

Lemme start. At the Kraken x40. The kraken uses 140mm fans on the rad and it has better heat dissipation than the H55. While the H55 uses 120mm fans. But i would choose a h80 vs a kraken. Because h80 is much better than h55

Ok thanks,

Also Is there much of a noise difference between the two. Second, would the kraken be almost the same as the h80 you recommended?

Yes. But some fans or i should say Stock fans can be loud as hell.

Does anyone have a different opinion?
