H80 or H100?

zoomee · 13 Nov 2011 at 10:44

As per title, not sure which one to get as I have space for both.

Corsair H80 or a H100. To be honest I want something quiet and powerful enough to cool a 2700k @ 4.6 (which should be hard!)

Price wise theres is't much between them - just wondering if anyone here has tried upgrading from a H80 to a H100 and how it went. thanks

my h80 cooler with arctic five is idling at 25 degrees C and at load on intel burn test is at 48 degrees C ..... good contact I have there

For that speed a H80 or decent air cooler would do

Zoomee I see you've managed 5Ghz out of your 2700k, which cooler did you choose In the end?

Cheers

H100 will give you better temps, just 4 decent fans on it in push/pull and you're sorted

I would have said if you are after the lowest temps then go for the h100, assuming you have room for a double radiator of course

The 5ghz was from my custom watercooling setup (120.3 rad & supreme hf) but in all honesty even that was struggling to keep my 5ghz oc cool for 24/7 useage. In the end i dropped it in favour of much lower volts n heat for 4.8ghz.

I got the h100 but cant say im that impressed. Its a very thin radiator which i stuck my 1450rpm scythe gts on. still yet to do any conclusive testing tbh guys. will be next week before i get chance

Cheers for feedback fella, I was thinking of running 4 Apache fans In push/pull config.

I am not too fussing about getting to 5Ghz tbh but would like at least 4.6Ghz and not bothered about fan noise, will be running them at full load.

Just £100 bit steep for cooler, shame I rushed and bought the taller Vengeance ram straight away. Bah

If you're not really worried about fan noise, get the Vipers, they're much better than the Apache's, they push more air and have higher static pressure, which is all that really counts

4.6 is really easy to cool mate. It wont matter which cooler u use because it only needs 1.28volts for me. its above that it becomes trickier to cool. Im still using stock thermal past

I have some IC Diamond 24 I could use, just pending on H80 or H100 now.
