H100i v H20 1220?

[avrc]

Looking to buy next week for my corsair 250d m-itx build but can't decide which one to go for:

Corsair Hydro H100i High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

Antec Kúhler H2O 1220 Series 4 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

There's a fair amount of info on the Corsair one, quite a bit about issues with corsair link on windows 8.1, leds and fan noise but I'm struggling to find much on the 1220 series 4. Does anyone use one?

Anyone?

I used the H100i, but together with windows 8 pro x64.

I didn't find the fan noisy if I put them in quiet mode in Corsair Link, which works fine for myself.

Not sure about 8.1

Same really! I cannot comment for the 1220, but the H100i on Windows 8.1 I cannot fault. IIRC, Corsair Link is not supported on Win 8.1, but you can edit a registry entry to get it working!

I've setup a custom fan profile on my H100i and it will idle at 400-600rpm and load will hit now more than 1200rpm, but you still cannot hear the stock fans. The custom profile regulates the fan speed based on the coolant temp not the CPU temp, but the CPU never goes over 65c with the fans speed ar sub 1100rpm.

Hope this helps
