Hey All!
So, I was planning going custom loop, but unfortunately, that just won't happen. Don't have time to set it up, and tweak it, as I upgrade rather often.
I'm also quite done with giant air coolers, for the same reason - accessing RAM with Noctua NH-D14 is annoying as hell.
So, that leaves us with CLCs.
I read a lot and have narrowed it down to Corsair H105 and ThermalTake Water 3.0 Ultimate.
I know that the Swiftech H220X is great, but it's not available in Canada, and also costs a lot more than anything else.
I'm not considering 140mm fan rads, as I intend to replace the stock fans of either one with GTs (AP-45s in either push or push/pull).
Price is the same for both units, so ignore that. Also, will replace the TIM with GC Extreme (already have that and the fans).
I found some very fond reviews of the TT unit (such as TweakTown and HardOCP) and then some not as enthusiastic (there are quite a few).
Rig specs in sig.
TL;DR
Thermaltake Water 3.0 Ultimate (360 ram) vs. Corsair H105 - same price, GT AP-45 and GC Extreme.
What do you guys think?
