I am looking at used a corsair h100i or a used corsair h110 to cool my overclocked 8700k for around $40, is it a good idea, if yes which one should i get?

I'm currently using a cooler master hyper 212 and need a water cooler because it does not fit in my lian li o11 dynamic case.

used liquid coolers are like used hard drives and power supply, I tend to steer clear of them since AIO's failure rate isn't low enough to risk it.

Do not buy expensive hardware and throw the cheapest cooler, psu at it. It will lead to the death of the system. For 50ish Bucks you can get a really decent Air cooler. You could even find a Open box Noctua NHD15 ish or something depending on your area

Its hard to find a good cheap air cooler that fits. The ND H15 does not fit

I ran a 5ghz 8700k on a h100i for a year, perfectly fine. This was after the h100i had a year on a 6800k. I am currently using it to cool a 9900k at 4.7ghz while i build my custom loop for it. So 3 years later its still doing a good job.

 

If the price is right, go for it.

Where are you shopping / located? Budget?

What ram are you using?
