Well I can always buy it, Test it with a 4770k @ 1.30v and if I'm not happy with the results, Take it back the next day

Then what are you waiting for!
That's apparently the ONLY review out there. But the temps seem logical, compared to H220 results. But that is one hell of a chip - only 10% of Haswells can do 4.6 at that voltage. Temps vary from chip to chip. So do test your cpu. Cinebench, Aida64, prime95, OCCt - try it all at stock and OC settings to get a rough idea about your cooling needs. But if you do end up getting the H320, please provide us with your temp results

I will do an extensive benching session, Infact I think I'll start now with stock settings, Then apply my OC of 4.60GHZ at 1.32v, Excessive I know but I want to get all ends of the spectrum, Currently on a Dark Rock Pro 2, So the results shouldn't be that bad

But that excess power is only useful if you add more radiators or devices. Otherwise you can lower it and enjoy much quieter operation with absolutely no performance degradation (at least that's what I keep hearing from users - I haven't used one yet but do plan to get the H220).True, Just found out a cool little bit of info, Apparently the pump in the 320 is 6 watts when in comparrison to other AIO which is around 2w is quite a nice increase

Thinking I might go back to getting the H100i after watching Toms review of the H220, Seeing as the H320 and H220 are literally 2-3 degress within eachother and the H100i beats the H220 by 3 degress I can see the H320 being exactly the same as the H100i but for less money and an RGB LED.
Like I said on one of the earlier comments, most people believe that the sample Tom received was not good at all. Because EVERY other review on the net seems to get different results. It is not allowed to post links to other review sites in here, so I'd just say do a search on Youtube about the H220 and then make your decision. But you said that you can get the H320 for testing. I suggest you do that and see for yourself whether it is good or bad, and return it if unsatisfied. It's your money after all, you'd best know how to use it.

Indeedy, I've looked all over and every review out there apart from Toms *Video and written* states the H220 as being superior to the H100i, Guess the guv got a bad sample, I got an email from Swiftech after I asked about quality etc... and they said early batches had pump issues so this might explain the results in the OC3D review.
Anyway time for steak and eggs and then off to the shop for the 320 ^_^

hold on the h100i doesn`t beat by any means a swiftech h220. the h220 is better with same fans by 9C. that is big.so the h320 is FAR superior than any them corsair. and i like it its a cool AIO .

My money is on OC3D getting a bad sample as I stated before, Swiftech stated in an email I got sent that earlier samples had pump issues as I was asking them about build quality etc...
