I tried a few all in one water cooling solutions like CoolIT and Antec but they were a lot worse or a lot louder than my air cooled system. because of this I decided to keep my air cooled cpu cooler. when Corsair promoted the Corsair H100 I was very curious about it... a big 240 radiator and a all in one solution.....thats it... arrived yesterday and here we go.... replaced the original fans(they are really noisy if you are going to OC LOL) with 4 x Akasa Viper 120mm the HAF 932 is prepared for a water cooling sys with a 240 radiator at the top of the case no issues while installing the radiator , took me about an hour to install it running now on lowest fan settings and I am okay with the noise of it, you can hear it thats it temps: now I am able to OC my sys up to 4.337 GHZ/1.40V which is not bad for an i5 750 hottest temps full load were at 60°[email protected] idle temps are at 35-40°@4.337 Ghz if its running at stock speeds of 2.67Ghz temps are 26°C on idle load - 45 °C full load compared to my 24/7 settings I had before temps lowered 15°C which is awesome if you are not going to OC this much the stock fans included are enough to cool your sys on lowest fan profile be sure to have enough room in your case to install it because its huge and you have to have a well vented case I paid ~90€ for the Corsair H100 + ~55€ for the fans and its worth every buck for sure hope you like my little review (: regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some peeps don't get what 15 deg diff can make. I have run the H70 for a year or so and LOVE it. That cooler there is a beast. Nice!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you play games Don, and so do I, but if you are going to overclock, you have to check it IBT only takes a few minutes, and you will see load temps approx. 20c greater then P95. If you are running 7, and overclocked, but have not checked for stability, check your system error logs, if they are large, then you have an issue. These are big calculators pretty much, wrong settings will make it spit out the wrong numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
