As the thread title says should i go for a single h100i or obtian AC4 AND BF4?
I want all 3 but only can afford one or the 2. I can grab a h100i off amazon for $100 and free shipping or i can grab the 2 games for just under $107.
My only concern is the h100i will fit in the case as it is an extremely tight fit. It should be fine due to the Mobo heatsinks not going over the PCB but the 8pin cable is almost stretched at its limit as it is.
Forgot to mention but i have a Define R4 case(window). Also running intel stock cooler(believe it or not but it is quieter than everyhting else in the rig) and i am running a 3.6Ghz OC(compared to 3.4ghz stock 3570k) at 1v with LLC taking it at idle from .972 and .992 at load... Now it's only about a 6% overclock but i feel even then that is a pretty bad voltage for such a low clock. To go to 3.7ghz i have to up the volts to over 1.1 just to run OCCT but it fails after 2 mins; can't go any higher on volts, due to stock cooler letting the CPU hit 90C.
In the end i am happy with my CPU at this clock never really getting maxed out and never gets higher than 62C during games.
Then we have the 2 games.. need to pre-order within 5 hours before my sale price goes away and becomes higher.
Thanks in advanced. Let me know if you guys need more information.. I am torn between the 2 choices
