I am putting together a folding rig with an i7 3820 on an Asus P9X79 Pro motherboard. I will be using G.Skill Ares RAM (2x4GB). I have 2 cases to choose from to put this in. One is a Corsair 400R and the other is an Antec DF-85. The DF-85 is built for air cooling and I would like to go this way but only if the Notctua or Phanteks can keep the 3820 @ 4.6GHz as cool as a Corsair H80. No more than 71/72c. (Possible for an H80?) If the H80 is the better cooler it will go in the 400R. I do not want to go with an H100 because with this board it just doesnt work in the 400R and the DF-85 does not work with it either. A custom loop is right out for now too as I do not have funds for it. Hep me out amigos as I need to get this ordered by tomorrow. As i said I would really like to use this VERY gaudy DF-85 for my folding rig so I hope the high end coolers can cut it with this cpu.
I am going to put this in both Air and Liquid areas for moar opinions.
