Maybe you could be right.
My case could not fit well some air coolers.
So I already posted my CPU temps with my Hyper 212+ dual fan in the Official Corsair Hydro Series Club just to know if the H80 or the H100 could be or not a good choice in my future upgrades.
I posted the following informations:
Core I5 3550
My idle temps with 212+ is 30C and the fans at 600 rpm. I can't hear the fans.
The temps on Prime95 goes around 50C with the fans at 600 - 900 rpm.
Also during the test, the fans seems quiet.
One guy from the club replied my post with just his personal opinion:
"usually the H80 is what we hear is neck to neck with a hyper 212 , but as it was said your temps are impressive the way they are and I think that to meet them you would need higher rpm on the H80 even in push pull, I think you would maybe get better temps ( 1-2 degrees , not much play there ) with the H100 especially in push pull but you need the space and the fans will be more noticeable , where you will see a difference is a nice clean case instead of having a skyscraper sitting on your CPU ."
