So my old Corsair H70 gave out the other day. LUCKILY a friend of mine had a Kraken X60 he wasn't using anymore (I know, right???).
But the problem is that there is no chance it will fit in my case and I like my Cooler Master N200. Running mATX. I like compact.
So having said all this I'm considering selling it and going back to a single 120mm. Running my 5820K @ 4.5GHz right now and while stress testing the 120mm couldn't hang, in normal usage and gaming it never went above 70C.
So how would something like a H80i compare to something like the X60? TweakTown has the H80i cooling better than the X61 on an overclocked 4770K but that doesn't really compare to a 5820K with two more cores.
So, yeah, thoughts?
