H100i V2 Vs. H60

[Forgiving]

So i wanted to know what would be the better option to start off with, and if it will even make much of a difference. 

CPU: R7 1800x

Overclocking: None

Get the H100i or a different cooler. Don't buy the H60, trust me I have one and I wish I had got the H100i or another dual rad.

I wouldn't even bother with a 120mm rad, spending the same money on an air cooler would result in better performance. 

 

If you're going to get an AIO, get a 240mm or larger unless you're really tight on space so a 120mm is the only thing that would fit (and large air coolers aren't compatible).

both are good but since the cpu runs wark go with h100i v2 plus it gives you more headroom to upgrade in the future.

Any suggestions for air coolers? the only reason i was going AIO is because i want a little room in the case and all the Air coolers i have seen so far are quite huge

If you're not overclocking the chip there's really no need for a 240mm aio.

 

Dark Rock Pro 3 is a good option for air cooling, it's quite big so depending on your case and ram it may not fit. Also a good cooler if you do decide to overclock, can handle it quite well.

I have the 1700x, and my H100i v2 is absolutely amazing. I would recommend this.

Single rads aren't worth it, get at least 240 or 280mm.

I am a fan of my Noctua D15

 

Keep in mind though, that the R7 chips really don't get that hot. You will hit an architecture limitation with clock speed before you hit a temperature threshold.

 

I run a silent profile on my D15 and PC case, and this thing sits around 55C-65C at 3.9ghz.

 

When running 4GHZ at 1.45v, it doesn't really break 70C much running benchmarks.

 

I would not recommend a 120MM AIO like others are mentioning.

 

I think you should go high end air or 240MM RAD and that is going to be more than plenty for the 1800X.
