I know this may seem like a lot of money for little gain, but hear me out.
I have the H80 and although it's a good cooler, there are a few things that bug me about it. The fans at anything over minimum speed are annoyingly loud and it looks rather large and intrusive when mounted to the rear of a case.
I'd like to get the H110 so I can mount it in the roof of my case and have it out of sight, but here's the thing, I want to bolt it to the Bitfenix Spectre Pros I have in the roof of my case.
I realise Spectre Pros may not be as optimised for radiators as the H80 fans (not sure about the ones on H110), but the Spectre Pros can be run at a higher percentage of their peak performance without sounding like they're going to take off.
Now, aesthetics aren't the only reason I'd like to make the upgrade. I've got a 3570K and it's no lie that Ivy runs a bit hot. Living in Australia, the heat 'issue' is amplified come summer. So, I'd like to shave a few degrees off the temps too.
Keeping in mind that the Spectre Pros run much quieter than the Corsair fans (allowing me to turn them up a bit), do you guys believe I could expect much (if any) of a temperature improvement going from H80 to a H110 + Spectre Pros?
I'm using a 3570K overclocked to 4.4GHz 1.22v and a Switch 810.
Thanks.
