Case: HAF X


  1. Corsair H100i (software aided)
  2. Corsair H105 (38mm thick)
  3. CM Nepton 280L (Great surface area)
Plan on swapping stock rad fans out in the near future.
 
Hi welcome to the forums.

I use the Hydro series H100i it's excellent, also have the H80i and the Link software is excellent I've never had any performance issues what so ever, the only issue was when the LED colour stopped working. I would ask will you be Overclocking the FX CPU? It might benefit from the thicker radiator on the H105 if you do.
 
I can tell you that the 8320 is pretty damn hot if you don't have adequate cooling. I'm sure you're aware of this so if you can get the H105 for the same price as the H100i then I think you should go for that.

The cores can get pretty good overclocks on stock voltages if you want to keep volts down but any dual radiator AIO will do that with ease and allow for some overvoltage also.
 
As a general rule, more surface area is better. I would go with a CM Glacer 240L or Swiftech H220-X (expandability), but out of the ones you listed the 280L is probably the best.
 
280L although the pumps area bit more audible although it'll perform better.


Depends on individual chips and airflow more than you'd think however.
