might get this fans nice and quite?

Depends on how you are using it. Running my 3570K @ 4.2 i can pretty much have the fans spinning low and it keeps everything nice and cool. If you're looking for a more aggressive clock, with the required voltage that it is going to need, the extra heat will mean you will need to run this higher / louder than I do. Cranked up to full whack, it can go real loud.

sounds about right wont be clocking my cpu to the max will just you the asus auto tune to fast
it has a performance mode right? which i think changes the fan speed when needed

That's right. Has a custom mode for the fans too, so if none of the presets suits you or your system you can build your own profile.

sweet h80i it is !

I think i will wait for summer and see what temps you guys get i bet a lot higher than what you get in winter.

RizGB · 12 Dec 2012 at 18:39

atm with this weather in london i doubt i even need a cooler on the cpu atm

snakefood · 12 Dec 2012 at 19:42

@ BloodZeed...yeah, If I could use my pc in the garden it'd be running @ a nice cool -5 during the night

See below, these profiles are what you get out of the box:

The speeds you can see my fans idling at are both on Quiet.

Edit: If you want me to post anything else before you make a purchase, feel free to ask

thanks whats the name of the 2 120m fans you have on the top of your case

snakefood · 14 Dec 2012 at 19:05

They are the 2 that come shipped with the H80i; I believe they are corsair's own SR120.

RizGB · 14 Dec 2012 at 20:05

you only get 2 with the h80i

Yes it only fits 2 fans.

RizGB · 14 Dec 2012 at 21:58

2 pants ones at that i hear i will need to get

SP120 performance fans for the h80i
and a pack of Corsair SP120 Quiet Series for the top 2 fans

anyway i can change the pump colour? to blue be nice to have it glow blue

snakefood · 15 Dec 2012 at 00:25

you can make it pretty much any colour you like, or you can set it to change as the heat changes

I just like it in white, as my pc's colour scheme is black / white

I put second fan on and temp only dropped 2c. both fans run good now. I also put a bottom intake case fan to help with pushing the hot air out the top, but tbh the second fan on the H80i isn't really needed. Temps were low even with one fan.

It's purring like a kitten

Now to clean up a little of the wiring

Hi I recently installed my h80i in my zalman z9 plus case and need advice on how I can hide the wires they are a nuisense.

My PC has changed since then. The only thing I can say is you really have to tuck the top wires away, It's not hard as long as you have some holes to the back of the case. I hide them in there.
