Its decision time.
As soon as the 600T case appears on Newegg's site I intend to order one. Also, when I rebuild my system in the new case, I intend to switch from the Coolit Freezone peltier water cooler I use now to either the H70 or H50.
Now my two questions.
1. How will the noise level of the H70 at 1600 rpm compare to the H50 at its normal 1700 rpm?
2. How will the heat transfer capability of the H70 at 1600 rpm compare to the H50 at its normal 1700 rpm?
I am driving a Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz @ 3.8 Ghz. With it the Freezone idle temps remain stable between 95 and 99 degrees F and do not exceed about 135 at full load.
I prefer the H50 because it is smaller. However, for a consequential improvement in cooling, with no noise penalty, the H70 would be my choice (assuming I run the H70 at the lower 1600 rpm). I just do not have any way now of making an informed decision which to buy. Noise reduction is extremely important to me but it still has to be weighed against the need to effectively and reliably cool the CPU core.
