Corsair H60 vs H80i

[FlambePhoenix]

I am building a PC with an Intel i5 3570k overclocked processor and would like to have a liquid cooler. My main choices are the Corsair H60 and H80i. Before you say 'You can get the H100i!' my case is incompatible with it and am not willing to change cases

I would say go with the H80i to cool your 3570k, for multiple reasons:

1) The design is basically a H100i but with one 120mm radiator instead
2) The rad is thicker than the H60, which allows for better cooling performance.
3) In most if not all performance tests, the H80i does better.

Of course, if you wanted even better cooling performance, you could go with the H90, which has a 140mm radiator, and has better results than the H80i.
