Corsair H80i good for i7-4770k 4.5?

[Bupstrack]

I'll be buying a h80i for my i7-4770k, and i wonder if i could reach 4.5 on good temps.



Besides that, is paying $30 more for the H100i (Im not from USA, thats the pricing on my country)


Thanks

Depends on the CPU. Every CPU overclocks and acts differently.

 

Either way, I would recommend the H100i, Seidon 240M or Kraken X61 over it.

There is no guarantee what OC you can get.

Yes spend the extra money for an H100i, or H105 if possible. H105 is better than the H100i

I would avoid the H80i and H100i altogether.  These CPU AIOs have a very bad problem with mounting, and are not guaranteed to work for you out of the box without modifications.

 

Also, avoid 120/140mm AIO coolers, unless it is the X41.  120/140mm AIO Coolers for CPUs are like a job half done.  They are expensive, and don't perform very well.  You will likely get similar or better performance with a less expensive air cooler.

 

If you are looking in 240mm+ AIOs, check out the H105(if it will fit) Cooler Master Seidon 240M, NZXT Kraken X61, Swiftech H220X/H240X.

I had the h80i and it was no good. Temps were way too high for my cpu and the pump was loud. I ended up having to replace it with an h105, temps went down and the system is quieter.
