H110i GTX vs H115i?

[guymarshall]

I have been looking at the H110i GTX and came across a new one called the H115i. Is there any noticeable difference between the two and is the H115i worth the slightly higher cost?

From everything I have found online they are the same:

Even a Corsair rep confirms that minus a tweak to the CPU block to ensure compatibility with mITX Skylake boards.

Either one would be fine so getting the 110i GTX wont lose you any performance.

OK cheers for the quick response, I have an AM3+ FX 8350 so I should go with the other one because it is the same.

The corsair website says both are 40 dBA, whereas the H100i is only 37.6 dBA, so is it going to be noticeably louder on the H110i GTX?

That is the maximum sound rating, basically with the fans at 100% speed. The difference between 37dBA and 40dBA is negligible at best. I currently have a H100i and it doesn't bother me but then again I wear headphones when I game so I can't hear anything else.

40 desibel is twice as loud as 37 desibel. After every 3 desibels, it is twice as loud. 100 desibels is twice as loud as 97 desibels and so on.
