Worth upgrading to a H100i from air?

Klunt Bumskrint · 5 Jun 2013 at 22:48

I've never ever used water cooling but I've been fiddling a lot lately with fans/temps/voltages and delidded.

Although my temps are actually quite good I wonder if they would be better with something like a H100i.

I'm using a Thermalright True Spirit 140 with MX-4 which is a damn good cooler but is it worth the jump to water?

Nobody with any advice?

I would personally say no because I don't really like the corsair h100i.

I would stick with air cooling or go straight to custom water.

Some reports of them failing better off with a custom loop if you really want to water cool.

you have a very god cooler. If your happy with the temps dont bother with the h100

Had a noctua NH-D14 then a h100i and now a custom loop. I regret buying the h100i very similar temps to air cooler but more noisy and less reliable, only benefit with a h100i is they look smart and tidy. Either stay with air or go custom loop.

Short answer: NO

I replaced my Corsair A70 with a H100i and the A70 was better... "luckily" my H100i had a huge noise so I returned for a refund...
