Hey all,

Have got a h100i cooling a 2700k in an 800D (the rad's mounted on the roof). I've been running it in last night (first run), and with the OC at 1.380vcore and 4.933Ghz (BCLK 103) I'm hitting mid 70's using AIDA64 as my stress test. Fan's are set to "Balanced" config in ILINK2 (latest version and running firmware 1.05).

I've build a lot (about 50) of these 2700k's previously but have always used a custom cooling method with HyperThreading etc turned off, so was wondering if others are getting similar temps around those voltages - I've got a funny feeling I should be doing a lot, lot better with my temps? Is there a burn in phase for the TIM on these coolers?

Cheers :)
 
Mid 70's is pretty good considering the overclock and vcore your using, is ht enabled as well?
 
Yeah, HT is enabled as well. Using an EVGA z77 FTW mobo so am still getting to grips with it (have exclusively used Asus Maximus IV and V Formula boards in the past), which means I have disabled VDROOP so it's punting to around 1.390vcore under load. TBH I was thinking the H100i would work a ton better than that, although I did find the mounting method quite weird with them in that the connection bolts that come through the mobo between the back mounting plate and the pump were really loose in my board. Perhaps I need to remount it? I was expecting low/mid 60's - is this standard for these coolers?
 
Wow... to even attempt 5Ghz I require 1.52Vcore.. my day to day oc of 4.5Ghz @ 1.35Vcore~ hits 70-80C under full stress. Kinda meh I need to drain my loop and replace the bad coolant in my loop. Need more rad space as well I'm not happy having so little rad space :c

Erm, anyone? :)
 
It really depends on a few things to how well it performs. For me the H100i is better than any air cooler i've used (including Phanteks) by about 5c and quieter too as i use the SP120 quiet fans. However, not as good as i was hoping and nowhere near as good as a proper WC loop with a 240 rad.

Only reason you would get better results with H100/H100i is because you weren't getting good air seperation on your air cooler.

CLC by mounting radiator in case separates hot exhaust from cool intake air.

Air coolers set inside of case so if you don't design your airflow you will get hot exhaust mixing with cool intake air.

Every degree of heat added to intake air is a degree of heat added to CPU. ;)

And that folks is a big part of why CLC's often post better temps than air. Not because they are better but because the have cooler air going into them.
