kk guys getting hot here i use a asus lion square cpu cooler ive seen the refurbed h100 and h80 on here are they any good for my 2500k

 

[Uncle Petey]

Yeah, if you get one that works properly

This weather won't last forever though

 

[stobbsie]

one that woerks properly ,,,are they problems with them?

 

[Uncle Petey]

There have been a few reports, but you never know.
Worst case, you'll have to send it back. For the price, it's worth a try.

What temps are you hitting and in what circumstances?

 

[stobbsie]

ok im idling now at 39c when im gaming im hitting 55=60

 

[stobbsie]

i liked the idea of the h100 or h80 more space in case ect but if there is issues with either

 

[stobbsie]

also wanted the z11 zalman case if i went with h100

 

[Uncle Petey]

What clocks are you at?

 

[stobbsie]

im at stock ......thanks for your help i gooogled h100 problems and wow theres lots of them

 

[Uncle Petey]

That is a little warm for stock speeds, but it's nowhere near the danger zone.

I'd recommend a better aircooler personally - After checking that your existing one is properly mounted etc.
On the other hand, you could well get a problem free H100 for all I know

And than again you might not. These are the ones that were defective to start with and they fixed/"refurbished" and now they only have a 90 day warranty.

 

[Uncle Petey]

It's a coin toss, I'll agree

 

[doyll]

Kinda an expensive coin after 90 days.
