I have been trying to decide on what cooler to go in my new build featuring intels upcoming 22nm 6 core cpu. I have looked over quite a few reviews and benchmarks for various AIO's (all in one) coolers.
I am not a heavy overclocker, I tend to run my rigs at a modest clock for 24/7 computing.
But I do like benchmarking my rigs after setting them up to see just how far I can push them, because this gives me a feel on where the middle ground is for my modest clock.
Example: I run my 920 from 3.6 to 3.8, these will go a bit higher, but no need for me to push mine.
The H 80i is single fan, the H100i is dual fan, the performance gap is not very large, but the price gap does seem to be.
One day I would love to learn how to do a custom water build, but for now an AIO will have to do, because not only do I want a good cooling option, I need the extra room it will provide me over the motherboard.
Price is not that big of an issue. The biggest question I have with the H100i is is the tubing long enough to reach the bottom of my case where it would be mounted. If I used the H80i, it would mount right on the rear exhaust slot.
Case is HAF XB
Thanks
