Suggestions to upgrades from H80

Hey all,

 

Been wondering about upgrading my current Corsair H80 (not the "i" version) to something new.

I am rather satisfied with the H80 loop, as for performance it seems to do the job perfectly. I am, however, rather annoyed by the fans that came stock with it, rather noisy to my taste.

 

Obviously I could look into upgrading the fans, but if any of you have a suggestion to a really well-performing closed loop alternative to the H80, I'd be grateful for any advice.

Proper water cooling is on my agenda, but not for another few months at least. A new GPU is higher on the list.  ;)

 

Thanks in advance!  :)

Price isn't really that much of an issue, but having a few alternatives doesn't hurt.  :)

Are you sure the fans are loud instead of the pump?

Well the best AIO would be the Swiftech H320 with different fans as it would fit in your case. But any dual radiator AIO will probably do the job just fine, just don't get a new single radiator AIO.

Good question, I've am pretty certain that it is the fans, as they go absolutely bonkers while booting and a while thereafter as they slow down, which is normal obviously, but I'll verify your concern after work.

I'll have a look at this H320 one, did you recommend I should get aftermarket fans for it?
