Zalman CNP9500 AT or H100

Hardware Hub CPU

Hi Everyone


I emailed Tek Sydnicate this question about a month ago but I think they were too flooded to answer it. 


My question is in relation to my current computer. 



Processors: i5-3570k Motherboard: Sabertooth Z77  


Currently while idle my CPU runs around 32 °C and while playing World of Warcraft 60 °C. Would I benefit from lower temperatures upgrading to the Corsair H100 or maybe something even less such as the H60? I eventually plan on overclocking my CPU but not until I'm comfortable with it and know if my future configuration
can cool it. 


I'm on a fairly tight budget after buying an operating system, hard disk and the rest of the computer I want to see if the extra cooler would improve anything (cosmetically the Corsair H100 looks nice inside the NZXT Switch 810 versus a big copper fan)

I personally recommend keeping with what you got now and use that money on other things like a beefy graphics card or whatever could benefit you more. The temps that you have now are average and you wouldn't really get anything from a H100 or H60 until you decide to do some decent overclocks, based on those temps your alright to give it a small overclock and recheck the temps.

The Zalman looks baller! Big, fuckoff copper turbine of death! YEAH!

The temps are great too.

I'd say keep it.

Thanks! I probably could use the extra money and get a 7850 depending on the sale.
