    H100 or H80 for overclocking

    I am willing to upgrade my processor and get Ivy Bridge one but I am not able to make out which cooler will be best for it. I have checked out for the same and have found Corsair H100 and Corsair H80 to be better choices. So now I just want to know which one is best amongst them?? Any suggestions?

    Re: H100 or H80 for overclocking

    I will suggest you to go for Corsair H80 as I don’t find much difference between H80 and H100. The only difference I see is the size of the Radiator, H80 is having 120 x 152 x 38 mm where as H100 is having 122 x 275 x 27 mm. The radiators are made from Aluminum material in both coolers so I don’t think that this small size difference will matter. The performance of both coolers will be same and H80 is cheaper as compared to H100 as well so go for corsair H80 (CWCH80).

    Yes even I think the same, getting H80 will be a better deal as it is cheaper and will give the same performance. It is just about the size of the fan rest all things that matter are exactly same:
    • Block Material: Copper
    • Radiator Material: Aluminum
    • Radiator Fan Dimensions: 120 x 120 x 25 mm, 2 fans
    • Radiator Fan RPM: 1300 RPM (Low Noise), 2000 RPM (Balanced), 2500 RPM (High Performance)
    • Radiator Fan Air Flow: 46 - 92 CFM
    • Radiator Fan Noise: 22 - 39 dBA

    Re: H100 or H80 for overclocking

    I will suggest you to get Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro rev.2 cpu cooler its quite cheap and works well, I have been using the same in my system for my Intel Core i7-3770K 'Ivy Bridge'. It is the most silent fan I ever had, it’s heat dispassion capacity is just great because of its 3 double-sided heatpipes and 45 aluminum fins. Just go through its other technical specification below:
    • Max. Cooling Capacity - 150
    • Heatpipe - Ø 6 mm x 3
    • Heatsink Material - Aluminum fins x 45, thickness: 0.4 mm
    • Fan (mm) - 92
    • Bearing - Fluid Dynamic Bearing
    • Noise Level - 0.5
    • Current, Voltage - 0.22A, 3.4 - 12V
    • Dimensions (Product) - 108 (L) x 96 (W) x 127 (H) mm
    • Net Weight - 465 g
    • Rated Fan Speed - 900 - 2200 RPM, (PWM)
    • Gross Weight 0.81 kg

    Re: H100 or H80 for overclocking

    If you will be overclocking your Ivy Bridge cpu then go for “Thermaltake CLW0217 Water 2.0 Extreme/All-In-One Liquid Cooling System”. It is costlier than the ones mentioned here but it is really the best solution as far as overclocking is concerned. It has an expanded 240mm radiator and 4* x 120mm fans for providing best cooling. Check out the tech specs below.
    • Block Material: Copper
    • Radiator Dimensions: 270 x120 x 38.3mm
    • Radiator Material: Aluminum
    • Radiator Fan Dimensions: 120 x 120 x 25mm
    • Radiator Fan RPM: 1200~2000RPM
    • Radiator Fan Air Flow: 81.32CFM
    • Radiator Fan Noise: 27.36dBA (Max)
    • Radiator Fan Connector: 4 Pin
    • Tube Dimensions: Length: 326mm
    • Tube Material: Rubber

    I originally intended on getting the H100 for my build (still in the process of order those parts -_- ) but I see the H80 is a little cheaper and while not performing at the same level as ... How can overclocking affect CPU lifespan?

    There are many scientific terms that describes why CPU is affected by overclocking. Normally, when ever you overclock the processor then it is some parts of it like the transistors are stressed to a level which normally gets affected. Actually, if you perform a stable overclocking with a proper cooling solution then only 10% or less gets affected on the lifespan of the CPU.
