After updating my 5 year old system, i thought it was time to "put my big boy pants on" and go for the water cooled option. My previous air cooler was HUGE, and LOUD. This Corsair H80 is really quiet and is super easy to install, especially for an AMD chip. This keeps my CPU nice and cool (running at about 38-39c), and will be tested when I overclock this CPU.

System:
AMD FX-8150 CPU
ASUS Sabertooth motherboard
16GB Corsair 1600 DDR3 RAM
Coarsair AX-850 Professional Series PSU
2 X 500 GB HDD's
2 X Nvidia GTS 450 GPU's
Corsair H-80 Water Cooler

every high end air cooler is much quieter and receive better results compared to those "water" cooled loops

those are pretty high temps for a cpu watercooler,i've got the h50 and my average all depends on room temp but it sits at around 21-24-27c during the day,at night its at 18-21-24c at idle underload running skyrim on ultra it's at 36c but then again you've got alot packed in there with it so their temps would be upping the radiator temp,you can drop the temps down just by elervating the case up to just near window height so clean fresh air is drawn in to the fan.
