GrimmJaww Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Everyone, I just purchased and installed one of the H80i Hydro Series cooling units, when I first installed it my temps from Corsair Link/CoreTemp were reaching 70+ C. I pulled everything back out, adjusted back plate as I put it on wrong and now the temps are ~55-60C. This unit replaced a CoolMaster V8 air cooler. The temps from that cooler were around the same as I am getting now(~59C) and I was thinking I would see a bigger temp drop with this unit. I know I dont have a side fan to actually increase air flow and I will be getting a new case shortly. One thing to note I got this cooler so I could install a side fan to bring my GPU temps(~75) down. That obviously wasnt the case with this venture but I am still more than happy with the unit. I noticed the temps fluctuate about 5C whether idle or under load. If anyone could assist or advise that would be greatly appreciated. If these temps are normal I would like to know. I hear others getting temps under 40C and its making curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Your temps are pretty good. While the H80 is a good cooler it's just another alternative to a good air cooler. It's not necessarily going to out perform them all. If you would have gone with the H100 or 110 with a larger RAD then you would see a little better on your temps.

GrimmJaww Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Thank you for the response. I was hoping for that answer but again its the first time dabbing in liquid cooling so I wanted to ensure so I know where I was at. Again, I appreciate the response and answer.
