Riekopo Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I've got the 550D case and I'd like to know which cpu cooler would be best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryman Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 i dont have the 550D case and dont know much about it so this is just my OPINION but i would say it doesnt really matter...i vote for the H80i just because i have it :P but honostly...ask someone else besides me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riekopo Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 I ask because many of the reviews I read are contradictory so I don't know which one to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Depends more on the motherboard and CPU you get and if you are going to overclock. It's all about thermal load and efficiency. In general, the larger the radiator, the more energy transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riekopo Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 If I plan on running the cpu at stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryman Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 H60 or H80i would probably work for stock... hmm wait is the h90 or h80i better? well anyway just get the H60 if your going to run stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSmoker Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Go for H80i. If stock/silent run it with 1 fan. If you want to overclock you can always add the second fan in push-pull config for added performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riekopo Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 I've got the Intel i7 3770k cpu and Asus P8Z77-V mobo and the EVGA GTX 680 FTW gpu. The case is supposed to be a quiet case so it would be nice to try and keep it quiet. Should I be using SP fans in the front two 120mm slots? There is a hard drive cage covering one and both are covered by a dust filter and plastic cover and aluminum door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
