    Question Corsair H100i Or Cooler Master Seidon 240

    Hi all I think this is my 1st post here so hope alls good and I'm doing things appropriately.Had my new case a few weeks now and with more room for radiators im thinking of upgrading my cpu cooler.
    Currently have a i5 4670K being cooled by a Corsair Hydro H55 but although when idle and not pushing the cpu temps are good 24-33c,as soon as I try and OC temps just go way to high and using OCCT or Prime95 just isnt a option as the tests usually aborted within 3mins. My new case Corsair Obsidian 450D and from reviews I am tempted by either the H100i or the CM 240 Seidon. Apparently temps are kept down better with the Seidon but noise levels are quite loud on heavy load whereas the H100i is only a few degrees warmer but less noise. So all in all I am a bit torn as to which way to go. I would in a ideal world love a custom loop but not sure I can get a decent kit at the price I'm willing to pay any input on this would be great and if anyone knows of full custom LC kits at about the same price as a Seidon then I would be happy to have the info and links to these products. Oh yea in the UK so products here would be more favourable many thanks

    Do you have room for a H105 at all?

    Keeps my 4690 on 1.21 volts at around 60C under stress loads and that's on 40% fan which is very quiet. Amazon had them for about £3 more than the H100 last week when I got mine.

    You can sometimes find various places selling refurbed Corsair coolers. For those prices, they make unbeatable offers!

    Keep in mind that you can always change the fans for ones with specs that you prefer, be it higher performance, lower noise or a balance of both.

    You'll struggle to get fans that are higher performance than the custom SP120s that come with the coolers, they are loud on anything about 60 or 70% tho and you can get quieter ones.

    I think the static pressure is 3.something.
    I'm not insane. My mother had me tested.
