NZXT Kraken X61 or Corsair Hydro H100i?

Thanks

mines actually really quiet, almost never goes above 1200rpm on its fans, the only time i hear pump noise is on boot up for about 5 seconds

The X61 would have more rad space and give slightly better performance, not to mention the mounting pressure issue on the H100i.

Thanks for the replies guys, just to add a little more info on this: its for the new NZXT Noctis 450 case, Nvidia G1 Gaming GTX 970, and either the i5 4670k or the 4690k - still not decided on the rest of the setup yet, if you want to help then head over to here for that

 

@Uwillparish - is that gaming or normal temps? maybe the above info can help you on what else I want to use it for

Take a look at the H100i GTX. I'm getting that next month.

I would look at the x61 instead, if you can fit it in your case, its a much better option

X61 will have better performance. 240mm vs 280mm
