H100 V Silver Arrow

[scotslad]

I hear both these coolers give nearly the same performance and each with thier advantages and disadvantages etc

What I am trying to find out for now is with a high air flow case and magnetic mesh filters fitted on the air intakes, how dirty do these coolers get and more to the point, "how difficult and how often will they need cleaned", I know through experience that any coolers are a total pain to clean and just inconvienent, I know the magnetic mesh filters I use help a lot on the air intakes, but still dust finds its way in as you will know.

Looking forward to any input on this subject please ?

p.s

If you think there is a better cooler than these for similar price then please also tell me about that, but it would have to fit in my Coolermaster HAF 932 case, and if liquid cooled it would need to be near enough 100% gauranteed not to leak as ive heard some horror stories, lol.

P.P.s
I should state I will be fitting this cooler what ever it may be to a 2700K cpu and overclocking too, plus as I said, it has to fit in a HAF 932 case. thanks

As long as you have positive pressure inside your case, dust shouldn't be a massive issue and the air cooler will certainly not get dusty within the case. The H100 might because it will be installed as an intake or exhaust and be directly influenced by the air outside.

The SA is a safer bet IMO. Whilst the H100 is good, it's far more expensive and gets really loud at higher RPMs which is required if you want SA beating performance. Link in sig.

And I can't think of any coolers that are better for cheaper, hence my constant recommendation of the SA.
