Is the intel bxts13x a decent cooler?

[Gastricbasilisk]

Hey guys, I'm looking at upgrading my cpu cooling for my new skylake build. I currently have a Hyper 212 EVO and I'm considering liquid cooling because I plan to overclock. I like the intel cooler because aesthetically it matches my blue build perfectly. But I can't find any comparisons or reviews online. I know it is constructed with the thick walled tubing and decent components, but that's it. Can any of you guys shed some light on it? How does it compare to other coolers in that price range like the H80i? Should I even bother upgrading or stick with the 212? I have an antec 1200 case and have been told the double radiator coolers don't fit. So it seems I'd be looking at a single 120mm CLC.

They're equal. Maybe the H80i being slightly better than the intel but not much. If you wanted a huge improvement then everyone would say the H100i or a Noctua but you might not have the budget or want your PC to look like baby poo.

I do recommend the H80i in a push pull config or the Silverstone TD02-E/TD03-E.

I can't see why a 240 Rad won't fit in there,
