Just curious though...is there really a need for so many "improved" CPU cooler products, when the CPU architecture moving onto 32nm?

I mean take the SandyBridge CPU such as the 2500K and 2600K for example...they don't really run too hot, and since they will likely to get shorten lifespan/fried by high voltage (above 1.38 vcore), the voltage would be the limiting factor not the heat...

I still see some people doing higher than 4.6GHz on over 1.40 vcore...and I'm having serious doubt on if they CPU is gonna last, and the temp is not the issue for slowing killing the CPU...

better cooling = higher overclock, simple

, Most people dont worry about running upto around 1.44v, as degredation will only be seen YEARS down the line, by theat time the chip would have been sold / out of date

- On a h50, i can do 4.8ghz on my 2500k, but if i get a h100 i can probably make 5.0ghz @ 1.4v

the closer they perform to custom watercooling loops the better

I think you are talking old CPU logic here, and you have not read the issue regarding SB; hell, I am currently on 1.55 vcore for mt Q6600 at 3.7GHz. SB is known to be weak against high voltage:

Yes, I do know this, I also know that OCUK themselves have come up with that, Obviously they will try to say 1.38 is max safe, just to sell their own overclocked bundles, giving them an advantage over the other retailers

SB is weak against high voltages, as all small chips are, but considering intel have a max safe voltage of 1.52 (YES i know thats not a 24/7 voltage) and people have been running, on average, 5ghz @ 1.42v since release, and have not found any chip degradation at all.

besides, if it breaks, you can just RMA to intel

Suppose you are right. I guess people should really not get the OEM chip instead of paying £10 extra for the retail CPU, considering it is 1 year warranty vs 3 years warranty

Yeah, It could just be a h70, with modded backplates and longer tubing

or they could have a 360mm rad, and then have both cpu AND gpu blocks coming off it lol

Yah, Me too, Shame that OCUK get it 20 days after some other retailers

Only problem I see with this is it's an Asetek cooler. My Asetek 510LC struggles to keep the CPU cool when overclocked, so I don't think it would manage if it had to shift some of the heat from a graphics card too.

Asetek make corsair coolers

Just some of them (e.g. H50/70).

Asetek is doing Antec Kuhlers now and CoolIT has moved to OEM and is doing the latest Corsair coolers (H60/80/100).

Some other retailers are crafty, put a due date that looks good so they can get loads of pre-orders but low and behold it's not in stock when the due date finally arrives.

What's the difference between a 'liquid' cooler and 'water' cooler?

The liquid isn't limited to water? Just guessing, in reality I have no idea.

How do these new coolers stack up then?

antipesto93 · 12 Jun 2011 at 08:52

liquid = water, different names, the only two types are corsairs closed loops and custom loops.

we dont know how these cool yet, no results

i wonder if it will fit into my haf 932

Short answer no - your case does have 2x 120mm holes, but they are too far apart ( as they are INSIDE some 140mm holes)
so you can only put 4 out of 8 screws in.

OcUK has an ETA of 01/07/11

I've just checked on a well known USA retailers website and they are not expecting stock of the H100 till the end of July, considering Corsair is USA based I would not count on the UK getting stock any time sooner.

Let's hope you're wrong, I won't be waiting that long and can always put the money to a better use.
