Hi,

Anyone know what the differences\advantages are between:

and

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...iquid-cpu-cooler-cw-9060021-ww-hs-032-cs.html

I have the rest of my kit ready to go, I'm just holding out for a V2 but it's still showing Pre-Order, is there anything new over the previous model?

Regards

Craig

Doesn't matter which corsair AIO you get tbh, they all come with crap fans and the coolers are all about the same.

Could you recommend some fans? I have a H80i and it could do with some improved cooling

Read on the Corsair forums, the block has been slightly modified to cope with Some Skylake Mini ATX boards. Apparently Version 1 doesn't fit very well

The corsair Quiet fans are good, Noctuas are quiet too. I have 14 corsair quiet fans on my case, love them.The Gentle Typhoons are decent but you might have to get them off the bay.

I`m using corsair SP120`s on my rad, have no complaints

I have a H100i with 2 SP120 performance on the rads, reigned in by a mix of PWM and one of Tealc's PWM-DC adaptors as I got fans before Corsair launched PWM versions.

I'm 3 YEARS into ownership and still going strong. With the PWM reigning the fan speed they're as quiet as the Quiet editions but I know if my temps spike there's brute force ready to be unleashed.

I'll have a look, I'm running the stock fans from the H80i

I'm running Akasa Apache Blacks on my h100i. Whilst not the most powerful, nor the quietest at full speed, they push a remarkable amount of air very quietly at low RPMs (6-800).
