I'm tempted to go with a h100i or h110 to avoid having a huge cooler in my case. Will the h110 fit as it's 280mm radiator?

is the h100 a lot better than the h80i because im planning on getting the h80i but im not sure if i should pay a little extra for the h100 ?

Consider a Z77-UP4TH board, that will save some money and the resident OcUK guru 8pack even says its good.

Will do, I think I'm overpaying for the Sabertooth board considering it's features I just think it will look nice with the cover.

The h100i is the one to go for if you can't fit the h110, h100i has better fans and has software control for them.

It might do I don't know I was just comparing the h100 vs h100i vs h110. I'm talking myself out of it now though as it's 40 quid more for the same performance as a top end air cooler, sure it looks nicer and frees up space but I don't know :/

id go for the h80i basically because i dont think its worth paying an extra £35 for a dual rad

Jig the money around and make a custom watercooling loop. More fun and rewarding in the long run!

i think a decent watercooling system will cost about £160?

I suggested cause if I were to pay that much for a system, I'd probably want a custom loop in there, however all depends on what's required compared to cost. Think the h110i would be a better bet.

hakank68 · 27 Mar 2013 at 10:47

i agree the h110i is probably the best all in one watercooler

The h110 you mean? There is no i version yet. Whilst it is probably the best all in one and I'll most likely go ahead with it I will probably end up disappointed. I think I'd struggle with a custom loop as I know absolutely nothing about watercooling.

i agree, some say that custom water cooling is a lot better however i also know nothing about it so i think as you said the h110 is the best choice as i dont like big bulky heatsinks

If you get the 110 just make sure it can fit in your case.

i might use it with a haf x, will it fit in there ?

I reckon the Antec Kuhler 1220 is worth a look.

it looks nice

, is the rad a little thinner than the h110 or is that just me ?

Suarez7 · 27 Mar 2013 at 12:46

Could always do this to the h100

I would imagine its the same as these things all come from the same oem with a few adjustments for each unit.

Its 240mm too, so will fit more cases than a 280mm rad.
