Is the H80 good? I don't have a CPU so don't wanna buy it and then see its loud or faulty.
Soldato
You dont need a CPU to test if its loud or faulty. Only thing you couldnt test really is if its cooling correctly but you can still run it outside a case of any PC to test.
Soldato
Depends what you're comparing it to, if you're comparing to a stock cooler the H80 will be MUCH better, if you're comparing to a high end air cooler (e.g. Silver Arrow) then it'll be close but not quite as good.
Any of the reviews for the H80 should help answer your question fully, such as:

So i casually started up my PC last night in a nice cool room, i opened steam and hovered my mouse of speedfan, i watched my CPU go from 47-91c in a matter of seconds so i shut the damn thing down to prevent damage, i checked the fans were all working and they were!
So i dont know what the hell happened there, im starting to regret buying this H60 as its just caused trouple

That grinding noise issue keeps poping up a lot, on most sites that issue comes up. I can see why so many of these refurbs are inbound.
How did you get a refurb unit already??
yeah, either that or perhaps the reason is that these series of coolers are the most popular LCLC solutions and sold in their thousands?

Some people complaining about high idle temps. Did you clean the thermal paste off the CPU before installing the new cooler? Seems like it may be one of the reasons for high temps as the thermal paste can't make a clean contact with the processor due to the dried up paste already on there. It is something that some people forget.

I gave mine a good clean, it was spotless :s even under load my exhaust being the h60 with ap120 high performance pushing and the fan provided sucking it still blows cool air just makes no difference to the temps :/

For those who have ordered the H100, keep your eyes on your emails today. We will send you an email to confirm shipment.
Sounds promising, although I haven't actually ordered one.. yet! debating whether to replace my Venomous X with one

Yay, despatch e-mail received today (H100).
Haven't been too fussed with the delays, the price was not to be argued with.
