Corsair H80i vs Corsair H115i
Corsair H80i vs Corsair H115i
I have an i7-3770k that I want to overclock to 4.5ghz, but the temperatures rise very high—85 plus at this speed with my h80i. Tomorrow I’m thinking about buying a new H115i, which is essentially a rebrand of the old H110i... Could you let me know how much cooler it would be compared to my current h80i 120mm rad? Also, this is the top AIO cooler available in my country, so it’s my only choice.
In theory, the H115 offers improved cooling thanks to its larger radiator, though it's hard to measure this with numbers.
AIO water coolers rely more on the surrounding air temperature than heatsink coolers. When the room is warm, the air moving through the radiator also gets warmer.

You'll notice a significant improvement when upgrading to H110i or H115. My friend who used H80i v1 for 6700K saw a temperature drop of 8-10°C after installing H110i GT. So you can expect H115 to match the performance of 110i or even better. Your temperature will definitely stay below 78°C under normal conditions. It also depends on your ambient temperature, but if it's consistently below 25°C, your temps should drop under 75°C with the performance details from Corsair.
