hoofhearted4 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 thats why i said h100 only if your case supports 120x2mm in the top :P and yes, with the window, i would recommend the h80i as well. you would probably get better performance with an air heatsink like the Havik 140 or D14, but that would just look ugly. and by better performance we are really talking ~5C give or take. the reason you arent seeing many reviews is the "i" series of the Corsair CLCs just came out like within the last month.

Dan3345 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I second what Hoof says. The H100I is fantastic.. I only have it in a push configuration and it still does a better job then my older H80, hell it even does a better job than an old swiftech custom loop I did. Seriously Thor, the new Hydro series from corsair is awesome. They have been out a while too so the software and firmware for the devices has matured a bit. Also, not that it should really matter but the logo has an RGB LED behind it so you can make over 300 colors with it and set them up in various patterns. Mine is showing the temperature of my CPU. It gets increasingly warmer and higher in the spectrum from 480nm and up as the CPU gets warmer. Pretty cool stuff IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) I found out it has to be the the hydro 80 series unfortunately, do to the fact it only supports smaller rads. not double. http://www.tigerdire...81559&CatId=499 My first pick was the correct, i did some more research on my case. At least i now know what works and what doesn't. http://forums.nexusmods.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/thumbsup.gif Edited December 15, 2012 by Thor.

Dan3345 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Thats fine the H80 is a great cooler. I would just recommend you only buy the newer H80I as it has larger diameter rubber tubing instead of the perforated plastic. And it is much better to control.

Thor. Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) thank you for that, i was hoping there was something better then the one i currently picked.. Its the way my case i laid out.. Edited December 15, 2012 by Thor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan3345 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Le new one :D Looks like it only comes with one SP fan now instead of two. Reviews seem to indicate it has the same performance as the older so I guess it doesn't need a second one. Anyways it is a bit more expensive than the older one.

Thor. Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) trying to tweak out the errors so when i do buy one it'll work for sure, its annoying having something not work yet it says it should.. I'm careful when it comes to that, caution is always good thing. I might have to settle with the 80 series, hopefully they will have it in store. Edited December 15, 2012 by Thor.

Dan3345 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 You mean make sure it will fit in your case? I assure you if the old one does the new will. The rads are exactly the same size, only major change is the pump and 3/8 inch tubing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 No i was hoping i could get one without going online. the heatsink you mentioned is perfect, just isn't available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan3345 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) Ahh I see. Glad to know I am not the only one who gets bummed out when they can't find what they want in the local stores haha :) Edited December 15, 2012 by Dan3345 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
