is it worth getting a h100i vs h80i?
For some solid over locking yes closed loop water cooling is wonderful. However I would suggest a NZXT Kraken X40 or X60 easy to install runs colder and much more quiet. Ch
Woops send to soon... Lol
I meant to say check out the reviews for the X60 im hearing alot of good things
Yeah, the X60 is the best cooler on the market right now, but you'll have to make sure it will fit in your case.
My H100i is pretty nice, I have to admit. I was told by some PC geek friends of mine to spend the extra money for the larger radiator. It fit my case, so I figured "What the hell". It keeps my FX-8350 cool, it's pretty quiet, and I am very happy with it. The Corsair Link software is pretty nifty, but not necessary. But, it was $10 extra to get the H100i than the H100.
On Newegg, the H80i is about $15 cheaper than the H100i. So, if you've got an extra $15, and your heart is set on the Corsair Hydro series, than go with the H100i.
yer it wont fit
If you are looking for an AiO cooler consider the Swiftech H220. While it isn't available just yet (scheduled for end of February) it is going to shake up the AiO cooling world. I found a link to a pre release review.

Its cost is up there next to the Kraken X60 but you'll find it performs on par with it in temps and as it is a dual 120mm instead of a dual 140mm it is easier to find a case for it to fit in.
