kraken vs h100

[Etonic]

im planning on buy a new gaming pc (http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/2fp2ZL) and im deciding on my cpu cooler. either the h100i, h105, kraken x61 or kraken x31. i beleave they will all fit in my nzxt phantom 410, my main concern is will they all preform the same, if so i'd like to get one of the krakens purely on the rgb lighting aswell as the software that comes with it

The NZXT Kraken X61 is probably the best performing AIO, aside from the Swiftech H2xxX series. So I would go with the NZXT Kraken X61.

[Sadistic_Potato]

Kraken X61 is the best performer there. RGB lighting is a bonus.

i like the kraken because it is RGB and not white like h100i

H100i is RGB too... Although Corsair Link is not the greatest by any means.

Cooler Master Nepton 280L. Problem solved.

No, I promise you, it's RGB, go look it up.

The H100i is RGB.....

I did, didn't see anything about it, i asked my friend who owns one and he said it is only white.

[Kobrastachka]

WTF

Does he have Corsair Link setup? That's how you control it.

[Etonic]

i didnt know that the h100i was RGB, the white led was pretty much the only reason i was thinkinhg about the h105, but i'll probably go with the kraken x61

[kameshss]

I would say Kraken X61.

 

WTF

Yes it's RGB man!

[FoxHound]

WTF

 

The latest software is just not good and messes up the lighting effects so you have to use a previous version of corsair link to get it to function correctly.

[Kobrastachka]

I would say Kraken X61.

Don't go for V300 SSD. Its the worst SSD. Check the forum! See the benchmark all over internet.

And also go with a single stick RAM. Coz you can upgrade it later!

I would recommend the Kraken X61 as well. ( I would have used one, but my case just didn't have room for one)

i'll look into the v300, but i heard that you should have 2 sticks of 4gb  rather than 1 8gb stick to split the load equally

You won't notice a big difference in that!

Just go for a single stick! coz it'll be better in future for upgrading the RAM without any problem like selling the older sticks.

Here is the benchmark for SSD.

 

I suggest you to get MX100 or 840 EVO or Intel 730.

i went with the H100i and im absolutely loving it so far, i have not encountered any problem yet (ie bad mounting yada yada whatever problems others were/are having with it) one thing i dont like is Corsair Link... oh my god thats probably the worst piece of software ive encountered in ages. super buggy. other than that the H100i gets my seal of approval

thats mainly why i didnt want the h100i, it cools pretty well but the software is pure shit

Yes! Both are good!

if you use other methods to control your fans (ie 5.25" fan controller) you dont even need to use corsair link
