X61 or h115i

Ok I'm stuck choosing between the kraken x61 (x62 is out of my budget) and H115i.

Which is the better buy??

Having used both Corsair and NZXT's product I'd have to say the X61, CAM is still evolving but they are patching out bugs very quickly and work hard with you to get any bugs found sorted, that being said if you don't want to mess with software get the non i H115 it was a really good unit when I had it and I'm sorry I parted with it for an i based cooler.

Don't want to be that guy but wouldn't it just be a safer option to save a little more and get the X62? I don't know the performance gains from X61 to x62, however I think the aesthetics alone justify saving more.

If that is strictly not an option then I vote the X61 as well. I feel CAM is a far superior piece of software compared to Corsair's crappy one. I never used CAM but I don't think I need to after using the Corsair app... I am sure it has come a long way since I have used it, but at least CAM gets a lot of support and frequent updates as far as I can tell and to me that makes it the easy option.

When it comes to stuff like this I would stick with Corsair. The only reason is that they cut cheques if you ever had a leak. And not knowing what NZXT would do would worry me.
