Is Corsair H60 Hydro Series enough to push AMD FX8350 to 5GHz
or Intel core i5 3570K to 4.5GHZ?
If not, how much will it push them higher?
Should I rather use H100 or H80?
hi just curious where u from mate as here in UK the h90 which is cosair latest is cheaper than h80 and near in price to h60
I'm from Slovenia (southern middle Europe, to make it easier). I don't think that H90 is available here.
H60 is 72,64€(62,10GBP), H100 is 91,27€(77,91GBP) and H80 is 94,24€(80,44GBP)
I dont think the h60 will be enough for that kind of overclock, im running a 3570k with a h100 and overclocked to 4.3 its idle is around 27ish and under a realistic load (arma ao) it sits at 55ish with a medium fan setting on the unit, prime i was seeing 65ish + or minus a few. for a 4.5 ghz was getting temps in the 65ish range under real world use but saw no real preformnce gain in the games i play. Also from my knowledge the h80 is about the same prefromnce as a h100 with in a few degrees celsius in a push pull setup, i have friends using h80's on 3770k's on high over clocks and they like it because their cases cant fit h100's hope this helps.
Don't waste your money on an H60. There are cheaper air coolers out there that will perform better. You'd be better off with a Cooler Master V6 GT, Cooler Master TPC 812, or NZXT Havik 140.
well, I could get these but not in my country... and I'm buying here in my country
btw here are available Thermaltake SpinQ VT, Noctuna NH-U9 ˝Special Edition SE2˝, Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 PRO and higher priced Thermaltake Frio OCK.
here we have that kind of stuff. I would have gone for the NZXT but I cant cuz they are not so popular here (dont know why???)
That thermaltake cooler should actually perform better than an H60. The rest of them aren't that great though. If you have the money to spend, you could always get a Noctua NH-D14, Thermalright Silver Arrow, Phanteks PH-TC14PE, Corsair H80, Corsair H100 or H100i, NZXT Kraken X40, or NZXT Kraken X60. Those are the best high performance coolers on the market right now. The Kraken X60 is currently the best cooler of them all.
yeah but if you could see what prices are here from these coolers ž...
your head would be just blown off :/
Well you can't go wrong with a Thermaltake Frio.
