£150 budget for a new AIO

[Cajs]

Hey LTT Forum,

 

I have a rough budget of £150 for a new AIO cpu cooler. I currently have a AM3+ socket, however I do plan on going the Intel route soon (when my boss buys my old cpu + mobo). 

 

I have been looking at the Corsair h110i GTX and the h115i, and wasn't 100% if either of these I should consider. I am also planning to buy a Corsair 760T case, so this supports:

Top: 3 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm

Front: 2 x 140mm or 2 x 120mm 

Bottom: 1 x 120mm

Rear: 1 x 140mm or 120mm 

 

H110i GTX: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Hydro-H110i-Cooling-CW-9060020-WW/dp/B010NS1LVA/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc

H115i: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Extreme-Performance-Cooling-CW-9060027-WW/dp/B019955RNQ/ref=zg_bs_3015422011_6

 

Any comments or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

It fits, it sits, whichever of those is best for you, considering price and current promotions is the best one.I they they are both good coolers

I'd get the h100i.. all the guff you get and pay for with the 110i ect isnt worth it..

cooling is what matters, not how many colours it can go..

h100 is about £80, put the rest towards a new cpu

Thanks, do you happen to know the difference between them?

I heard some of the older designs had leakage issues?

Cryorig A80 looks like the best aio on the market imo

[NJHourigan]

It's also a considerable amount cheaper than the other two options

Am I correct in thinking this is the device you mean: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cryorig-CR-H5B-Ultimate-Hybrid-Cooling/dp/B0154AXB4C/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1455388077

Would this outperform a liquid cooler?

[NJHourigan]

No, they don't seem to have them on amazon, this is what I meant:

Do you think this will outperform the h115i?

I have a £1000 budget which is separate from the cooling budget, for new mobo (maybe more ram, if I end up going ddr4) and a CPU.

Well I can't say for sure since there don't seem to be any reviews of the h115i, like at all, but the reviews I've seen of the A80 have all been really good, so I would guess so.

[NJHourigan]

I found these numbers in a review, it was in german though so I don't actually know what he was saying.

Apparently they're identical to the h100i GTX with a slightly adjusted layout to increase iATX case compatibility. Not something that affects me.

well I can't account for everyone but I've not had any issues! 

[Cajs]

Thanks to everyone who gave me answers on this topic. I got both the A80 and the H115i. I'll decide whichever one I prefer for my home computer, and I'll use other one in my work computer.

 

Thanks all!

Any updates on which you prefer?
