Water cooling questions.

[FuriousFing]

Hi,

I have a question about water cooling for my new rig I will be building sometime soon. This rig will be for mostly all gaming and browsing, for the CPU I will have a i7-4790k and I was wondering which water cooler to get, a H80i GT or a H100i GTX, I want to have the option to overclock my CPU at some point. If you need more specs then tell me. 

 

Thanks.

if you plan on doing it later on why not getting the CM 212 Evo ? So you could test your cpu so you don't buy an AiO when its only getting +100mhz

What do you mean? I don't like air coolers because there too big and it's hard to put stuff in once you have it on.

The H100i GTX is the better choice if it fits in your case

Ok thanks, just wondering why do you say it would be a better choice than the H80i GT?

H100i GTX if you must. I still think the original H100i is sleeker looking, but that's just me.

Because it has ~double the surface area of an H80 which means that it will dissipate heat way better.

dip it in a bathtub filled with water. it worked for me.

Ok. Yeah I might get the original one but they seem the same other than the RGB lighting.

Oh ok.

Thanks guys for the help. I will be going with the H100i/H100i GTX.

it performs better, and imo a 240mm radiator looks better than a thick 120mm radiator

Haha ok. Yeah they do look better.
