Cooling advice

[ScottytooHotty]

Hi all,

I have recently bought a new PC (specs Below) which has the Alpenfohn K2 Mount Doom CPU Cooler and was just wondering whether something like a corsair H80 would keep the CPU cooler than the air cooler I have, which is very good anyway, CPU has never been over 79 degrees even running crysis 3. Basically I am asking would replacing my current cooler for a H80 or the like make a big difference?

If its fine and you're satisfied with it, then why spend more money and barely get a difference in temps? lol

Well the question I was asking is if it would make much of a difference, if it was going to be 15 degrees cooler then it would be money well spent but if not then I am happy to keep it as it is.

Main difference will be in the noise it produces, which you could just buy better fans for it on the cheap side. I would say h100i is lowest i would go for cooling.

keep your exisitng cooler & save up for proper watercooling if you want considerably lower temps.
