Corsair AIO

[Andrievski]

Which one is better?

Corsair h100i or the Corsair h105

[Jodomcfrodo]

H100i has software control while the H105 will perform slightly better. I recommend the NHD15 over any AIO at the moment.

The h100i has corsair link but the h105 is thicker, so it'll perform better.

The H105 has a thicker radiator, so it will perform better. But, the H100i has more control. I would recommend a Noctua NH-D15/D14 anyway.

 

Here is a review of the H105 which includes comparisons with other coolers: http://www.kitguru.net/components/cooling/henry-butt/corsair-hydro-h105-cpu-cooler-review/6/

Wow that is one massive heatsink.

One quiet and great performing air cooler. Quieter and as cool as an AIO.

how much?

The Problem is i gonna use the Corsair Dominator and as far as i know the NH-D15 couldn't fit in.

how much?

It costs around 100$.

It costs around 100$.

 

thanks.

as spoken before, if you want corsair to control your fans, the H100i

if you are using the motherboard or PSU to control then the H105 (case permitting).

 

 

 

As you can see in the graph below there isn't a single air cooler in this graph, even the NH-D14 does not have enough cooling potential to be featured here. So all that has made this graph so far are the AIO big players and dedicated custom watercooling kits.

this is testing with a 100% load (85° cutoff) and 1.45 LGA2011 CPU (heater).

you are looking for the best delta temperature as the ambient doesn't sway more

than 3° for ease of review.

 

air-cooling is good, but i have found similar results on cooling a CPU with

high heat generated and found the AIO to be better in temperature control than

the air coolers. now if noise is a factor, then as you see by the chart, the slower

the fans, the higher the temperatures. TTL noted that the FSR (Fan Speed Reducers)

were a significant part of noise control. and some at 72-73° still were better than

the top ended air coolers that didn't make the 85° cutoff.

I would like to go for the x60 but it cost around 200$ which is expensive but as the results show good, but there aren't bad air coolers like the Cryorig R1 which would be definetly a good cooler.

But anyway, thank you for the Info.

I have had the H100i and it worked just fine for me and kept my 4770k cool as can be! It really depends on how you are going to use it and if you are trying to OC and squeeze for the best performance. If you are just going to chill out and play games then the H100i will deff be enough for you!
