Also, Noctua NH-D14 FTW
The cpu is the bottleneck... he isn't using a 3570k right now flux... he is using a Athlon currently wit ha 6950, so the cpu is the bottleneck, facepalm
Apparently you have all be reading something else so ill break this down for you.
The thread is about him spending $100 on a cooler so he can overclock the 3570k when he gets it.
My first post I point out that there is no point spending that much money on overclocking a 3570k because he could just get a better cpu for that extra money.
OP says the performance of the better cpu is not worth the extra money.
I agree but say that spending money on a cooler so you can overclock the 3570k is not worth the money and that it would be better spent elsewhere on the rig.
OP says that his gfx is fine and that he wants to spend the money on the cooling "so my ram can actually run at it's full speed, and to stop the CPU bottlenecking my video card"
Commissar replys to that post telling him the CPU (3570k) will not bottleneck his card.
You will notice the post Commissar replys to at no point mentions Athlon because we are all talking about the 3570k
You all encourage him that the CPU is the bottleneck and he should over clock it.
facepalm
Ohhh I get it how silly of me.
"The soul reason for this upgrade is so my ram can actually run at it's full speed, and to stop the CPU bottlenecking my video card."
That's what our boy commissar replied to as that's the only time a bottleneck is mentioned before his post. That sentence is talking about the change from AMD to Intel and so on.
To the OP, H100 is a good cooler, H80 is a good cooler. Both will serve you well.
No it wasnt twice the price, it was almost the same.
Cracking is not rare at all, it's conditional. Hot ambient temps do it, and in australia, its quite common.
Also where are you pulling those stats? Source please?
Either will be fine, depends on space in case. The 600t is made to perfectly fit the h100 in top. The cpu IS the bottleneck. Anyone who believes differently needs to go read up and get "edjamakated"on these things we call "comprootas".
