Just wondering what peoples opinions are on the above 2 AIO's, from what I have read they seem to perform similar with more people preferring the Kraken.

It will be used to cool an i7 5930k.

There is a poll as well.

I doubt you would see any real world difference between the two to be honest. On paper you may see a couple of degrees difference but it isn't anything that you will benefit from by going for one over the other.

I'm going to say the Kraken though because I know most people will say H110 just because it is Corsair :D
 
I went with the Kraken purely for Aesthetic reasons, if you have an NZXT case sticking with the same brand would be a nice detail. If you had a Corsair case then I think the H100i/H105 look so much better than the H110 that it's practically out of the equation. I'm sure from a performance angle they are practically the same as they are basically the same thing.

I still prefer 120mm coolers just because of the greater fan diversity and choice, even though there are more 140mm fans now and some static pressure optimized versions there aren't many different speed or PWM options compared with 120mm so I probably would never go with the H110 or the X61 for that reason.

Thanks the input guys, I cannot believe I forgot that they are manufactured by asetek. I might just use the x61 perhaps replace the fans if I find them to be inefficient noise/performance wise. Mind has been somewhere else lately... Probably shocked by the cost and excited about getting my new toys :D
