Just a bit of advice really.

I have a H80i GT at them moment, which is cooling my 5820K, and doing a pretty good job.

But I feel there might be some room for improvement here ?

My case can only take 120mm, so was wondering if you think that the H100i GTX or the H105 would perform better than what I have already got ?
 
If you have to change, what about this.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £100.16
(includes shipping: £14.34)

It says you can fit up to a 360mm radiator in the front. Link

I think he means 120mm fans.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my sig :)

Yeah, your absolutely right, the front of the case can take a 360mm rad.

There are also 3 fan filters fitted there, which can stay in place if I only install fans only, but if I want to install a rad and fans, then I would have to remove the filters altogether.

Build your own loop? Won't be much more!

I did build my own loop last year, but the pump made a low humming noise which irritated me, and was also concerned that it would develop a leak over time and damage my components.

Also, I couldn't really be bothered with the maintenance of a custom loop.

I am a lazy little bugger who just wants to put in the best AIO I can get, and just leave it :)

I know how you feel...same reason I've not completed mine yet :p
 
The rad on the H80i GT is 120 x 49mm thick, so would you say a 240 x 30mm thick rad would cool any better, even though it has an extra fan ?

I was quite excited about the EK Predator at first, but was wondering if I am going to get the same irritating sound from the pump that I did when I built
my first custom loop last year.

Think I will look at the H100i GTX and the H105.

I do like the Corsair AIO, and although they won't cool as well as a custom loop, the pump noise is a lot quieter.

I am also quite interested in the 360mm AIO , that freddie64 pointed out.

What pump did you buy when you did custom? And did you flood it before running it.

My H110 annoys the heck out of me compared to my D5 vario that was almost silent and was not even on the lowest setting.

It was an XSPC pump, the one that fits into their 5.25 bay reservoir ?
