Kraken X61 or H110i Gt // For Warranty

[MENTAL BAHAMUT]

Looking at getting a AIO Water Cooler for the next year or two until i get around to custom watercooling my build.

I'm a little worried about leaks because it's a very very expensive build. (for me)

Now, Ideally I'd love to get the one that performs the best.
The NZXT Would look nicest in my build (seeing i have a NZXT H440 Case)

But, I care more about the warranty than a few small degree's.

Which is going to be the SAFEST for my build, and if by some Small chance it leaks
Who will be more likely to pay for my damaged parts.

Also, I plan of putting 4 fans on it. So do both have the fittings for that?

both will perform about the same, and both will probably not leak, as with a reputation like corsair and nzxt, they know how to make the tubing and the fittings good enough..
I dont know who has the better warrenty, but both will replace it, if you have some sort of problem.
they both support 4 fans, but make sure your case has enough space for it.
just so you know, each fan is 25mm thick, so 50mm with fans on both sides, and the RAd is another 25-30mm, so make sure you case can fit it. what case do you have?

I'd simply save the money or begin to invest with the custom loop. The $100 you're going to spend on that cooler can easily be applied to other components.

Bought the Kraken X61, will look good and should fit easily with push pull configuration on top.
If not will mount on front

Not enough knowledge, and i plan on spending $500+ on a water cooler.
Don't have that sort of cash floating around atm.
AIO Watercooler is necessary atm as i game alot and temps are sitting 75-90c
and i'm not a fan of the air cooler looks.

in that case, I believe you can put a push pull config on the top.

You could spend less money on a decent air cooler. Also, sounds like you might have an issue with case airflow and possibly any overclock you might have. Just getting an AIO cooler to say you have one doesn't really accomplish the resolutions to the issues you're seeing.

Not interested in air coolers, don't care if their free

I'm running an Undervolted 4790k with stock cooler on it. Temps are normal until a decent cooler is on it.
.....i hope

Running 3 120mms and 1 140m fan
3 up the front in pull
1 at the back in push
top will be push pull
doubt i have an airflow issue. I believe it is just the stock cooler that's junk
idle temps sit around 35
under 100% load sits at 90

different games run at different temps. The ones i like to play
(ACU, Arma 3, DayZ) Vary from 70-90
with boost off 70-80

I would say 75-90C is not normal, especially for an undervolted i7. Assuming stock speeds, if it's undervolted?

Sounds like a case airflow issue, to me.

kraken x61 fixed heat issues as stated earlier, stock cooler no good.

Anyone wanting to updgrade like myself
Grab the Kraken X61
with 20 degrees celcius ambient temp
Running 75c under stress test @ 4.8ghz @ 1.32v
around 55c @ 4.4ghz stock @ 1.165v

I do advise getting new fans for it though, their pretty noisy when over 50%

Super.
