My dodgy H100

    I've still got that bloody h100 from before



    I'm going to RMA it as soon as I get a chance to ring them and organise an advance rma so I won't be left without a working PC for a the week or two that would take. But should I be thinking of upgrading the h100? This 3930k idles very hot at 1.2666v a around 38 degrees, and it's not exactly a mentally hot room or anything. I never got stable worthwhile OCs with decent volts on this cpu, could be a bad cpu but with high volts fair enough I could boot into 5ghz but couldn't get anything close to 4.8, 4.6 stable. Would the sub-par cooling of the h100 be holding this back? and thus make something like a custom loop or even like a h110i be worth looking at?

    Money is also a bit of an issue. I was lucky enough to afford electric picnic tickets, and then shortly after that I won bestival tickets so I'll be spending a fairly large chunk of money (for me..) on going to those. Not complaining, but that's where this years PC budget has gone out the window.

    Could a h110(i?) be got for like 50 quid or something? That would leave enough money to get a couple of nice noctua fans for push pull.

    The case is a shinobi XL so there should be enough space I hope for the 280mm rad with push pull fans...


    Just 2 exams left in the leaving cert before I get to play :D
