Loop vs Corsair h100 v2??

[The Afro Samurai]

I need a new cooler soon and it's been a tough choice as I'm sorta chicken about doing a loop but I've been assured as long as I take my time I'll be okay. I had all types of problems with the Corsair software on the original h100i. Has Corsair's software gotten better or should I do the loop?

Not sure what you even need the software for. Never had many issues with it myself. I had to switch to a loop as I wanted to cool everything. Also tired of hearing those corsair fans pretend to try.

So you never used the Corsair Link software? I kept getting the pink light on my previous corsair and I kept trying to get rid of it. But I do have expansion possiblities with a loop though.

I used it when I had a h100i. I set the light and fan speeds. No issues unless I reset the bios or unplugged all the power.

I don't what happened with me but that gave me problems. Maybe it's time I put the big boy pants on a do a loop. If I can build my own systems with pretty clean cable management I should be okay. Thanks for your help.

If it's giving you problems like the few I had, I would just reinstall link. Fixed it for me.

I tried that too serveral times and I went with a EKWB Predator but it's almost time to change the coolant now and after seeing what a PITA it is to change and get the air out of it I'm considering just putting the loop in.
