H100i question

I was very tempted by one, or the Triton but decided against either, my little air cooler is good enough for £20.

I'm sure they'd send you out a few, they probably don't even cost them 2p to get hold of!

Apparently they have shipped the replacements already - very impressed!

Need to see if I can then get anymore out of my 4770k. Always hit a wall at around 4.5Ghz with a decent air cooler. The temps on this cooler seem to indicate I might get a little more out of it (assuming I can get those temps again!).

That's really good!

Yeah, i can't wait to go watercooled to push mine past 4.6, well i probably could on air, max of about 65 but i don't feel comfortable doing so!

Good luck!

So my screws are on their way from the Netherlands! I wonder how long they will take to arrive. I should probably reapply the thermal paste, but I need to find mine!

Well the screws arrived, everything went on easily (they didn't break this time!). Managed an overclock of 4.6ghz at 3.1v on the 4770k. It could do more, but wasn't happy putting more voltage through it. Temps are decent, quiet mode, prime, around about 75C. None of my games are going to push it that hard and the fans are near silent, so very pleased

3.1v? Surely not?

Glad you're sorted - Great CS from Corsair

That's a dog of a chip if you need 3.1v for 4.6

Dyslexic moment! 1.31v

Brilliant service from Corsair. Approved in 1 minute, send out in 18 hours, arrived in two days! A full set of screws and brackets too!
