Swiftech or H115i

[The_Staplergun]

I'm really torn on returning my h115i and getting a swiftech. I'm seeing it can provide a decent difference in temp. I'm wondering if it would be better for me running a 7700k.

Would it be worth it for me to return the h115 to get a swiftech? When I oc to 5.0 I break the 80c but not by 10c.

What kind of a temp difference should I expect or am I wasting my time?

If you want to get into custom cooling then Swiftech. It's pretty much custom parts already put together in box. But generally, water coolers should perform about the same unless some sort of pissant design somehow blocks airflow or liquid flow or something.

So being that its a prebuilt technical custom loop, does it perform better due to separate pump and cooling block.

If I remember the benchmarks correctly, I think the performance difference is negligible.

Why do people every time so vehemently recommend it over the other, even for someone with no intention of doing custom loop.
