Need some suggestion guys, so what is the best watercooler for CPU? Is it the corsair H80 or the antec h2o 920? or you can recommend me better than these two. And also dont include corsair h100 as I dont have slot for that radiator.
 
H100 is the best performing, but can be noisy and a pain to fit. What sort of overclock you have in mind? Anything below 4.6GHz, and a SilverArrow / H100 / NH-D14 is overkill. H80 is decent but expensive, otherwise look up £30-£40 coolers for those high / midrange clocks. True Black, Venomous, Megahalem, with various kinds of fans.

If you want to play around 5GHz, a SilverArrow, H100, or a full blown water setup.

Can't say about the 920, the H80 is quite popular.

Oh so the best bet is the h80. I already have the nh-d14 but it is huge that's why I'm planning to change it to water cooler.

thanks for the suggestion olivier.
 
You already have a great cooler, fair enough you say it's huge but is causing issues in your case? what case do you have? i would go for an Antec Kuhler 920 out of those mentioned if you do really want to switch that is.(i personally wouldn't as you have one of the best air coolers)
 
There is no any issues about my case I have corsair 650D but I don't want much hassle when I need to change something and it also takes out the space of pci e x1 slot which I need to put my sound card in there. May I know why you recommend the kuhler 920 out of h80?
