was thinking of a H60

[LavisnaWoW]

Hello i was thinking of buying a H60 Corsair, as i been looking at it for months now, was gonna get one as i always wanted to try one out ^_^

Whats the life span on it? as well.

So what are your opinions on it? Thank you.

I wouldnt bother, from what I hear it isnt much better than most midrange air coolers

 

[yassarikhan786]

If you want a closed loop cooler, the H100 is the only one you should really go for.

what case is this going int to? what system specs do you have?
you might look into something a bit more practical or functional, but we can wait for your specs.

system in sig, case is a haf x so loads of air flow..put extra 200mm fan at top

thinking of replacing chip and mobo

Get an air cooler. NH-D14 imho

 

[andrewmchugh]

For an extra 10er you can get the high range aircoolers or for 20-30 more you can grab the h100.

I would wait until you get the new board and cpu, h100 prices may have changed by then. I know people using cm 212s on the 2500k and temps are perfectly fine.

 

[LavisnaWoW]

ok thanks form the replys

 

[seumasbeathan]

Wait, in your sig it says you have an i5 2500, is that the non k version? If it is then I personally really would not recommend getting an H100 or a NH-D14, I would personally go with a 212 plus.

 

[LavisnaWoW]

yes the non k version as it was on my budget round xmas last year

 

[seumasbeathan]

Will you be upgrading the cpu any time soon?

 

[PetrolHead247]

Seeing as you're on a H67 mobo and a non K CPU i'd go with a Hyper 212 Evo at the very most, anything above that would be a waste as you can't OC your CPU

 

[seumasbeathan]

Exactly what I would suggest, unless you are upgrading soon?

 

[LavisnaWoW]

i be upgrading yes soon with a 2500k

 

[yassarikhan786]

If you want the best of the best in air cooling, it has to be the Noctua NH-D14. It will keep a 2500K very cool even with a hefty overclock

I hear that. Can't really recommend throwing money after something like a H60 when the D14 and similar air coolers exist.

I don't really think it would be worth upgrading tbh, let alone to a 2500K when the 3570K exist. If you want to overclock the K chip you'll need a new mobo too, a good Z77 one such as an MSI G45 or GD55 will set you back another £100 - £120 on top of the £170 that the 3570K seems to be going for lately, and then there's the price of a good heatsink on top of that such as the Phanteks PH-TC14PE or NH-D14 which will set you back a good £60-£70, or alternatively there's the NZXT Havik 140 which is about £50 or so. So in total it would be between £320 and £360 which could be better spent elsewhere
