TCP 812 or H100i

[Freakster]

I have a Cooler Master TPC 812 push pull setup Double fan with 2 NF-F12's im very happy with it, its a very solid and well made heat sink, and performs well.
I was really suprised how well made it is especially compared to there 212 evo. Id go as far to say its probably one of the best made I have ever seen.

But I have recently been told about the Corsair H100i. I do like the fact it keeps the inside of your case nice and clear and I have heard its a very good cooler.

Would it be worth changing to one of them. I have read conflicting comments online about both so was wondering if anyone else had a view. thx

I had thermalright silver arrow, which was really good, silent cooler (running prime, max fan rpm ~1300, my temps around 72C-processor settings in my sig). Size of it though was annoying. Problems with fitting memory in, problems with installing bigger graphic card and I couldn't fit fan on a side panel as well. Decided to go with h100i . After installing it as per manual, temps under load were crazy 85-90C. With rubber washers they went down to like 75c (standard fans). Then I bought a bit thicker washers from eBay + gelid extreme thermal paste and with noctua fans like yours, on lowest rpm ~750 my temps are around 75C under prime small FFT (fans on max~1500 temps around 67C) . while gaming in low 60 (low rpm). All this with my case fans set to minimum. It's cool and silent for me, loads of space inside the case which allowed me to get better airflow (more, bigger fans). I'm very happy and don't regret buying it. Temps are better than I was expecting.
