corsair What's better, Corsair H110i or Corsair H100i V2? (Please tell me in the comments why)

[TheOskar57]

I can't decide what's better, the Corsair H110i or Corsair H100i V2? 

One of them has a 280 Radiator but I heard it has a worse pump and it's connected through Sata and it covers less the CPU and it has better and bigger fans

And the other one has a 240 Radiator and it solves all the problems above plus it looks better, but obviously, the radiator is smaller

Why make a version 2 if V1 was better.

Well spotted but I still say H100i V2

Neither, evga CLC 280 wins.

Judging by this review, the 110i is both cooler and quieter than the 100i v2 so my vote goes to the 110i.

(note that h100i v2 and h100i GTX are the same thing, h110i gt and h110i are also the same thing)

In my experience the h110i has far better performance, but it is more expensive too. I am sitting at a comfortable max temp of 65c with 4.0ghz 6800k and a gtx 1080 oc'd @ 76c under sythetic loads (with stock fans @ 900rpm that is), with h100i, my temps were around 15 to 20 degrees higher (ek vardar fans  @ 900 rpm), perhaps my h100i unit was faulty.

 

Judging your hardware setup, you have no need for h110i cooling power. The h100 v2 or similar will save you money and space inside your chassis. The h110i is more useful when doing heavier overclocks on something like 7700k or a higher tdp processor.

 

Either way you can't really go wrong here.

Yeah true that, but the H110i is only 3 euros more over here than the H100i V2, I also would want to futureproof myself since I might be upgrading to Z270 Platform.
