I was expecting just slightly better results, not earth shattering, just slightly better results with a water cooler when compared to a big chunk of tin with slow moving fans on it. First off it was a bigger pain in the ass to put this in my case than the D14. All I had to do to the D14 was to remount the fans in a pull/pull config blowing up. H80 mounting problems are due to the rad size & also design faults of the Lian-Li case & Asus X79 mobo (water cooling cutout plugs on top back of the case lower or limit the space for rear mounting & the x79 pcie slot placement & cpu 8 pin power connector on the mobo cause you to mount the rad sideways on the rear where it touches the side panel when closed). So I had to put the rad in the top front 120mm fan cut-out because the rear 120mm cut-out is blocked by the cpu 8pin power connector & my ram blocks the middle cut-out. To use the front cut-out I had to move my DVD & BluRay to lower slots to make room for the rad & move my smaller fan controller up top. I have 5 - 5&1/2" bays. So top to bottom I have a fan controller, blank, BluRay, DVD & a card reader. I used the blank 5-1/2" bay to make an aluminum duct which funnels air in from the front to the bottom fan of the H80 rad & blows up out of the top of the case. I'm using 2 ThermalRight FDB 2k rpm fans in push/pull which are hooked up to the case fan control. I made a molex connector with a diode in line for the pump which runs at an avg. 2k rpm. I have the pump hoses exiting from the top of the pump & going up to the rad. The Bottom Line are the results = in Real Temp GT 3.70- i73930 at 100x42 = 4200MHz with 100% load & 16Gb of ram at 2133MHz, 1.64v, 11,12,11,33.2t showed higher temps than D14 of 88-83-82-81-86-85. Using CPUID Hardware Monitor I had 1.3v VCore max at 200 Watts with 88-83-82-80-85-85 C. Showing 2k rpms on pump & fans. Unless remounting the pump with hoses coming out of side is going to make a difference this H80 is a total P.O.S. as far as I'm concerned. Anybody else having worse results with an H80 vs. an air cooler ? Or is it just me ? BeCause I was thinking of getting an H100 in push only & trying that later on but I'm not inspired to do that now.
