AJLedbetter123 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Hello Corsair and other members. I'm in the process of building a new system Specs: Core i7 3770K (Wanting to OC to 4.0Ghz +, no higher than 4.8) GTX 670 2GB (No OC and standard cooling) 16GB Corsair RAM (Dominator Platinum) 2 SSD 120GB and 1TB HDD H100i (If I find the answers first) MSI Z77 MPower Intel Z77 Graphite 600T White Case I'll also be changing the stock fans of the H100i to either SP120 or the AF120. Can't remember what fan was for the case and what fans are for the H100i. I've had it all written down :) Now I've looked around everywhere and I've found all sorts of answers regarding the H100 and the 600T case. I want to know information and if possible images showing what I require. I'd like to know the setup required for having the H100i in the 600T case. I want to know how people have the fan mounted and what direction they have the fans (If possible a image of showing the fan arrow) as I don't understand when someone say Push/ Pull etc. I'd like to know what temperatures people are having because I'm wanting to OC to 4.0 +, no higher than 4.8. I'd like to know peoples ideas on setting up the case with the H100i for best performance Just want to know peoples thoughts and current experiences with the H100 or H100i. I'm very pleased currently with the H80 I've had and had no problems. P.S. I want to have the H100i mounted on the top of the case, thanks. Also would like to know if people notice much of a difference with only 2 fans, and would like to know does the case warm up because of the phones being mounted outside of case etc. Just as much information as possible. Thank you everyone for the help, Kind Regards, AJLedbetter123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeVx Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I have the 600T and the H100i. I use a simple setup. Radiator is at the top(inside of the case) with the two stock fans on the outside of the case blowing air in. I can't use 4 fans(push pull) because the mobo gets in the way. Temps are fine on my 2500k@4.6 1.36V. around 62°C stress testing with the H100i on quiet. It gets 5°C cooler on max. While gaming it never goes above 55°C. Here are some pics: http://imageshack.us/a/img832/3225/img2219v.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img248/7531/img2222j.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img833/2254/img2223a.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pucci821 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I have 600T Silver Edition with H100I and AF120 as rear fan and SP120 as top. Air-flow and Temp's are good and everything fits and runs fine. Also used Tuniq TX-4 extreme performance thermal compound with H100i. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLedbetter123 Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Thanks for this, that's been very helpful. I shall get the h100i as soon as possible, and it looks fantastic. What about the noise volumes, do they cause vibration or are the sounds good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wemdee Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 @pucci821... Just curious, did you try with the radiator fans as exhaust? That's how I have mine and I am just wondering if I should turn them. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLedbetter123 Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Can any of you two make a video showing your case? Would like to see the noise levels etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ez12a Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Can any of you two make a video showing your case? Would like to see the noise levels etc. noise levels with everything at max in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryman Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Sorry this is off topic but I'm just wondering why did you place your ram split apart like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLedbetter123 Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 I'm I able to have the fans connected to the fan controller at the fron of the case. And do I have to use the USB thing located on the left of the hub, just looks messy and don't like. What do I have to have plugged in? Just the CPU header?

Bryman Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 If you want to control the fans you do :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLedbetter123 Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 But with the 600T case you've got a fan control, can't you plug them into that instead as I'll be using different fans for the h100i instead of stock. Does anyone know what I HAVE to have connected. Ill have the fans connected to the fan control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLedbetter123 Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Can someone explain what each connector does with screenshots? I'd like to know what's needed. If I don't use a certain cable what do I miss out on, what can I do etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ez12a Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 If you want to use the cooler bare minimum: pump's sata plugged in. that's it. Plug the 3 pin coming from the pump (or a 3 pin from a fan) to the CPU fan header unless you want CPU fan errors or disable cpu fan alert in BIOS. My video goes over the install.

AJLedbetter123 Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Thank you, last thing I promise ;). If I have the bare minimum, will I still get the corsair led lit up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryman Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Pretty sure yes I believe that's the same power as the pump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ez12a Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 yes it will light up white by default if i'm not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I have mine and I am just wondering if I should turn them. Thanks No I didn't just my thoughts but was thinking like a car radiator. Cool air comes in and is blown out the back. When max out there is a little hum and I can hear the front 200mm fan but it's not over bearing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My temps are ok, but I don't push it very hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
