H80i (80 euro) Or h100i (100 euro)?

Hello guys, i want to get a AIO liquid cooler , but wich one?
The h80i And h100i from Corsair are both Very good coolers.

I have a i5 4670K and i want to overclock.

In this benchmark : http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/59242-corsair-h80i-h100i-review-8.html there is a difference of around 3 degrees, is THE h100i worth THE extra 20 euro's?

Thanks!

If you don't have budget considerations and compatibility of the AIO with the PC Case then go for H100i.

Benchmark is made on certain specification and are for reference purposes. You CPU is Haswell and these CPUs run much hotter than ivy bridge or sandy bridge. So, in my humble opinion for your Haswell, you'll be better off with H100i.

The difference between the H80i and H100i is about 1-2c.....I know the H100 is larger, takes 2x 120mm fans compared to the H80i 1x 120mm fans. But realize that the H80i is thicker then the H100.


Here's a good review that compares them:
