Corsair H80/H100

[hackalive]

Hi guys,

I am looking at using a H80/H100 in a MountainMods Ascension Duality case.

I was wandering what is the tube length on the H80 and H100?

I don't want to get stuck in a position where the tubes are too short to reach where they would need to

In case any one is interested i hoped to mount then on the inside front of the case - where the fan intakes are - its also a HPTX board that I will have laying horizontally, so that will also affect what length I need.

Cheers

After a quick Google it seems that the H100 has about 24cm of tubing, so I would guess the H80 is about the same. Hope this helps.

Well there no way 24cm will reach :/

From reading its not the best idea to use the H80/H100 to push hot air out the case - best to suck in - so not really possible to even mount on top fan holes of case ... hmmm

Any ideas what I could do?

custom watercool your system because mountainmods cases are designed to be custom watercooled

You can do it, I have seen many people use the H80 on the exhaust fan, and people use the h100 on the top of the case as an exhaust. The temp differences will probably only be a couple of degrees if that. You should be fine.

it won't make any real difference i am using a custom loop and exhaust out the top of the case and still come out with pretty decent temperatures.

Ya I have a H100 and I tested both intake and exhaust for it on my overclock and the difference was only around 1-2 degrees. Intake was cooler on full load.

I personally have a H80 in my rig and it performs quite well... obviously the best visually and performance wise is always custom but if your dead set on easily accessable and no maintenance watercooling h80 and h100 are very user friendly. It took me roughly 15 mins to install and thats with wiring being run behind the tray and everything so it is quite a nice peice of work. dropped my cpu temp by about 52 degrees aswell... at load with pump on high my 2600k (4.5ghz) runs 35 degrees roughly. spikes to 41 degrees TOPS! at idle im roughly 18 degrees

I think ill go with two H80s (as its a dual CPU motherboard) and then top mount as "extractor" fans. That way they keep out of sight, esentially.

How large is the H80 with fans? (i.e., height if i was to mount ontop? Trying to judge space between the bottom of the fan and the mb).

OR should I buy one without fans and fit some http://www.corsair.com/en/cpu-cooli...rformance-edition-high-airflow-120mm-fan.html

Wait, you are planning to buy a case like that, and use a pre-made watercooler on it?

Ummm - maybe - why?

I've never done my own watercooling - and tbh - i dont think they make waterblocks for the Quadro 600 or Tesla C2075. Correct me if im wrong - so I'd only be cooling the CPUs (Xeons 2960).
