what would you do

[gampla]

i want to watercool my build with an aio but isit really worth spending say £90 on a h80i or spend a little more and get something like a 750d and a h100i?

I don't get what you're asking? you can find either type of aio for cheap these days for starters.

possibly i have found refurbed h55, h60, zalman lq310 but i can get another case and it will fit but what im asking if you had a case that someone gave you, i have an antec one the air flows not great so would i be better off getting a slightly bigger case or stick to this and put something like a zalman lq 320/h80i?

Cooler Master Seidons are like sub £50. There are plenty of options I personally avoid refurbs as you never get the full original warranty and hell at the end of the day why was it refurbed in the first place...

New or Never.

i take it you saw that on maplins website?

amazon sell the h80i for 65 quid.

whether you should get a new case or not really depends on if you want a new one.

what have you got in the rest of your rig?

possibly but i think ill run this for a bit longer the upgrade case fans psu and maybe a gpu

 

[Devo234]

ide stick with the case you've got then and just get a h80i. they are really good coolers

what bout the stock antec fans replace to what ones?

 

[Devo234]

ide recommend af120 fans. ive got ive got 4 of them and have no problems with at all. all running at 5v so really quiet and move a good amount of air

No I never buy hardware from Maplins, I base my prices on eBuyer, SpecialTech, Dabs, AWD-IT the main etailers I use.

well i have got my sickle flow as 2 exhaust and 1 intake so two af 120 as intake should keep it cooler

 

[Devo234]

well in that case ide get 2 more sickleflows because having different fans can cause turbulence and messed up air flow due to different cfm ratings etc

but if i get a h80i or zalman lq series would i have to put 2 sickleflow fans in push pull to balance it out

 

[kenny01924]

get a corsair h100i and id go for the 750 case both are excellent .

im not sure mate but im sure someone cleverer than me can answer that for ya

 

[Wraith]

H80i would be a great choice for the i5 3570k at stock, the H100i is overkill unless your considering OC'ing.

My choice H80i with a pair of Corsair SP fans in push/pull.
