H100 vs A70

Mario Balotelli · 11 Oct 2011 at 19:29

I recently had a Corsair A70 from an existing set-up given to me by a mate, but I've been hearing many good things about the Corsair H100 in particular and I'm tempted to ditch the A70 in favour of a H100.

What differences would you see in temperature between the two coolers, at idle, and then with an i7 2600k overclocked to around 4.8ghz for example?

Anyone think it would be worth the extra cash?

I posted this in the CPU subforum, but I've had no responses, do forgive me.

Cheers.

From what I have seen, the H100 performs 1-3 degrees better than a D14, an A70 performs a few degrees hotter than a D14. Considering buying a A70 very soon my Stock cooler runs way to hot. and 1-2c of a D14 for £40 less im sold

At 4.8mhz it'll make no difference whatsoever

I was going to mention the Mhz-Ghz thing and make a snarky comment...

... then I realised I wasn't 12

I'm a relative newbie, cut me some slack! Lol.
