Well im going to return the H100i which cost me £84 so i had that much to play with. Decided to go with this in the end because ive owned one before so i know what its like and how much cooler is it than the H100i. Its a bit of an eye sore, but what can you do? At least the colour of it will match my reference 290's. I abandoned my blue theme a while ago.

I have that very cooler, same colour too....and its a bit on the pink side

although i should have gone for the black one again

It's ok, Matt's in touch with his feminine side.

It's good to be self aware

LtMatt · 21 Apr 2014 at 17:05

Pink? Oh crap. Hopefully it blends with Radeon Red.

Was just dispatched from ocuk as well. Not sure if it will arrive tuesday or wednesday tbh.

Well it's not too pink....but a tad pink-ish lol

maybe the black would be a better option ?

When I pulled mine out...I thought....It's pink lol

Too late now, its en route. Will inspect it when it arrives. Unless its really pink, ill likely keep it as it looks like it will blend nicely with my 290's. Add a few red cables and bobs your uncle.

Strangely enough i googled 'pink man' and google suggested me to search for 'pink man in a tutu'. There are some strange people out there, and im one of them.

What CPU you running at 5Ghz? What were the temps before and after with the H100i & Phanteks.

Only one way to beat the Heat of Hades is Custom H2o full.

Only guaranteed way, break out the razor blade, hairdryer, vice, or any other delidding method. Custom water alone on hw makes hardly any difference over top end air cooling.

2700k @1.424v

Can't remember how much cooler the Phanteks was, but it was cooler and quieter. H100i won hands down on looks though. When i was playing Crysis 3 earlier one of the cores got up to 77c during the level with the moving grass. It was at this point i knew i needed something extra.

setter · 21 Apr 2014 at 18:50

Yep, if i leave my cpu fans on auto, (k2 with dual 2350 rpm corsair sp's). Temps will get to 77c, fans set to full speed knocks it down 10c.

Should've got a Silver Arrow.
