Hi all,
So here is my question , I google reviews for the H100i and they all pretty much say it's a great liquid cooler but hardly they get compared to air coolers.
What I'm struggling with right now is I have a 4670k @4.2ghz 1.2v my current cooler is an Enermax ETS-t40-BK which I read is better than the Evo 212+ (or at least they are similar in performance for reference) my idle temps are great 25-31c but my load temps are 69-77c average when I game. I also run OCCT, Prime and got the same results with temps staying in the 70's c.
Now I know those temps are ok but in contrast I have a 3570k on another build also at 4.2ghz and same voltage, Evo 212+ on that one and my load temps are in the 51-55c , even with prime, etc the highest I reached was 58c.
The main question then is are liquid coolers going to be 10-15c cooler than air coolers for example? I think the 4670k run hotter than the 3570k but I want to bring my temps down to the 60's c but unless you guys think temp won't change much with either solution is what I'm struggling with , i don't want to spend $90 if the temps are going to be similar, so what you guys think?
Any opinion will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
