I meant no temp issues with the GPU mate, not the CPU. CPU temp is horrendous, but GPU temp is no issue. Definitely need one for the ~100C CPU, but the GPU is perfectly fine at the current max of ~60-70C. I can see how that may have been unclear. In all likelihood I'll be going with the H220 X2 (can't seem to find the H220 X in stock anywhere).

I was only replying to what you posted.
"I never have an issue with its temp, even with my current case/airflow[/B]."

The H220 X is no longer being made and they are probably sold out now.

Yeah. I meant never have an issue with the GPU temp even with my current case/airflow. Wasn't talking about the CPU - which does have a temp issue. The CPU is the only one in need of cooling.

In that case, I suppose it's the H220 X2 unless anyone has any outright objections to it or a better alternative.

EDIT: And everything is on the way! I'll update to inform on how it operates once I have it all set up. Thank you all very much!

EDIT 2: Alright! Everything is set up! The max temp on 100% load is now ~70 C, which is much, much better! Thanks everyone!
