Worth "upgrading" H100i?

Klunt Bumskrint · 1 Aug 2015 at 07:55

I really fancy getting a 360mm AIO cooler like the Fractal Design Kelvin S36.

Is there any point? I'm not ready to go custom so don't bother suggesting that.
I just have the itch.

I've had the h100i for ages and fancy a change

Any recommendations?

Why do you say your not ready to install a custom loop? Financially or experiencially (is that a word?!)?

Financially you have a 5930k and two Titan's so I'm guessing you're not broke (unless you are broke because you have a 5930k and two Titans! So inconclusive!

Experience-wise, it's not really as hard as it seems. A full loop is the only way to go really.

Custom seems like a lot of messing about. I like taking my rig apart quite regularly and fiddling which would be a lot harder with a loop.

I think Fractal are in the process of upgrading the Kelvin fans and including a device to enable pump speed reduction, so def check that you are getting the latest revision

In which case a custom loop is impractical on every level for you purely because of draining and bleeding each time you're fiddling with it.

Exactly
