Corsair H70.

After thinking about getting the Thermaltake 850i prowater ( It looked good with the UV Tubes Etc ) i've now thought about getting the H70 as it seems much better even if it does look abit boring

( Both are around the same price anyway)

I currently have an Akasa air cooler with a broken pin which means it cannot be fastened down securely so either way i need a new cooler.

Am i right in thinking the H70 doesn't need refilled or cleaned / changed?

And do you think it would do the job for me? ( OC @ 3.4ghz ).

Not worth the price imo, you could get something better,

for example the noctua fan

I had to swap my Noctua out because it clashed with my memory due to the size of the heat spreaders.

I got an H70 last week and I have to say I'm very impressed with it. I've used my Noctua fans instead of the rather loud Corsair ones supplied.

You don't have to refill it however I imagine the radiator will need some cleaning to get shot of dust every once in a while.

i did the same thing with noctua fans but the temp was with +5 vs corsair fans. noctuna are silent but 1300 rmp and corsair 2000 rmp more cmf. now is up to you what you need silence or preformence.

Im just after something small with decent cooling, a few degrees doesn't bother me.

I would probably swap the fans with better ones anyway.

Edit - after watching a few videos im more swung by getting the H50. Seems there is little difference.
