Is the corsair H50 worth it or not? Right now I'm running a TRUE, and at 4.3ghz at 1.375 Vcore my I7 860 gets to 90c max core temp....at 4.4ghz and 1.425 Vcore it hits 99c and throttles back.
I'm not looking to spend $200+ on a super duper watercooling setup, if I spend that much money I'm going DICE. Really looking to keep it under $100. Plus, I only have an Antec 200 so since it's a mid tower there isn't an abundance of room. So, my question is, is the corsair H50 that much better than good air cooling? I've also seen some mods done to the H50, like adding an extra reservoir for more capacity since the rad is a little on the small side, and also adding some redline water wetter.
But just how much better is the H50 over good air cooling? Will it be enough to keep my I7 cool at 4.4ghz? Or more?
