Ok, so first things first, I apologize for posting it here. I don't really know whether to post it in "Air Cooling" or "Water Cooling" section. I don't really care if it's air or water cooled. My Corsair H80i died... Case: Define R3 MB: Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H RAM: Corsair Vengeance High Profile My CPU runs 4.5Ghz @ 80~85C at full load prime95 in Corsair H80i (which sucks IMO)... Need good cooler... Please... Edit: So I did my research... RAM Height: 52.5mm / 2.06 inch Define R3 Max CPU Cooler height: 165mm / 6.5 inch

Looking for cpu cooler that fits in a certain case with a certain ram...

Yeah ok, but like I said in my thread, my H80i makes my cpu sweat at full load (around 80~85C maybe 90C) which sucks IMO. So if it performs similar to H80i, then I would just get a replacement H80i which I know I have no compatibility probs...

But one thing about H80i is, it has a low density rad... which I think affects performance, i dunno though, maybe?

So I actually find a high dense liquid cooler, the Antec Kuhler 920... Wonder how it performs though... watching a lot of reviews right now...

P95 is a synthetic load and you shouldn't be worrying unless you're getting the same temps during regular use. If your cooler is still under warranty, I'd suggest just getting a replacement from Corsair.

The h80i is actually a pretty dense rad (most AIO's are) and performs similarly to the Kuhler 920.

The Kotetsu wouldn't have any compatibility issues if you do go with it.

Yeah, everyone else is saying that H80i is better..

Is it just me? or mine was broken before it broke a while ago... Because it is worse than my Antec Kuhler 620 which disappointed me really. I bought my H80i when it first came out, so maybe 4~5years ago. It's pretty old...

Maybe I'll try air cooling. I'm tired of homework. I'll just give it a shot, I cant game in this ultrabook so I need a proper cooler for my cpu...
