Corsair H100i or Antec Kuhler 920?

[GrantSor+1]

Hi Guys, so im here again to ask another question.

On what Cooler should I get, The H100i or the 920?

 

 

Here in the PH the H100i Costs 5500Php(125.36USD) and the h2o 920 Costs 5600Php(127.64USD) So since they are on the same price range im expecting a bit same Performance level? Correct me if Im wrong Guys

 

 

Its been a week and I haven't decided yet. And I just saw a store that has a SALE! The h2o 920 is on 2640php(60USD) So Should I go for it? or just save up for the H100i?

Why not a noctua air cooler? You get the same performance and it'll be cheaper.

How bout the noise? And I haven't seen a shop here in the PH that sells Noctua CPU cooler , Only Case Fans.

And about shopping online I'm Under 18 and parents wont let me use their card

A air cooler will be miles more quiet than a h100i or 929, mabye ask your local shop to get one in for you?

I tried that. They want me that I'll Pay the shipping fee and Taxes and They'll still sell it to me at a Store prices so its just like im paying DOUBLE the price

Well in that case it's probably not worth it, but I do think Air cooling is alot better than AIO's so if I were you I would just beg my parents to use their card

Get the 212x. It is a great cooler, not a noctua, but you don't need a noctua , it will be very quiet and perform brilliantly for medium overclockers. I don't know how much that is but If it's not sale I would definatly get it.

From $40 to $25. So I should get this instead?

Huh? Run the fans at 50% and you can't even hear the H100i.  :huh:

 

Also you get really neat info from the built-in sensors and can directly control the pump.

That info may be neat but its also useless, all you need is your CPU temp and thats it, also every pump makes noise, so I don't know about you but in my opinion the h100i is too loud. Besides aircooling is much better for the OP as he doesnt want to spend much money, air cooling performs better than watercooling at all price points (obviously excluding custom loops) and is  unarguably quieter.

I just turned down all my fans and I'm listening for the pump (I have an H80i and it has the same pump), I can't hear it and I'm 1 meter from my PC case. Let me put my ear to the case... I barely hear a slight hum. So, umm, okay.   :huh:

 

As for cheap, H100i is $70 from the `egg w/ FS, right now. That's still more, but the pump control and CPU data isn't "useless", a real sensor right against the die lid is worthwhile.
