Mercman Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 the H2O 920 will give better cooling than the 212+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyamdfanboi Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Yer but... Significantly better???? Or just a couple degrees better.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Well it depends ... What were your temps in Summer on the Hyper 212+ at 4.2GHz ? I cant see anything wrong with upgrading if you have the money . The Hyper 212+ is probably the cheapest thing in your pc ATM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyamdfanboi Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Def cheapest ATM lol... Umm in summer temps get to around 50ish but I don't normally run pc when it's in the high 30s low 40s ambient... Too fkn hot even for me lol otherwise temps r usually around high 30s low 40s on pc when ambushes around 15ish while folding.. With 2 gpus as well... I'd like to upgrade.. If it's gonna make a big difference.. At 4.2ghz nyt it gets to around 55-56 which is obviously too much for the poor cooler lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaLab Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 at 4,2 you need a real WC loop for great temps. the closed one will not perform better than a Noctua D14. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyamdfanboi Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 ambushes??? wtf??? stupid iphone.. its suppose to say ambient lol and the d14.. yer every review ive seen on the 920 shows it stomps all air coolers.. but not by a great margin at the top end of the air cooler range.. which mine is not at.. hence y i said vs 212+.. and not d14 :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 You should get the XSPC Rasa 750 RS360 kit Im at 5GHz on my 2600k at 1.45v and only around 55C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyamdfanboi Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 not a bad idea nyt.. its only $10 more here hahah $159! cant go wrong! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drdeath Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 The Hyper 212 does not do well at higher overclocks on the 920. It lacks the HSP. The D-14 remains the premier air cooler period. Case closed on air. Water will get ya more especially on the heat monster 920. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Only thing I would change out of the Rasa kit would be the Tubing that it comes with. Get some decent duralene Pvc 1/2-3/4 tubing, 8 clamps, 3 different fans and the XSPC rasa kit is awesome. But hey, it runs fine at stock too.

VaporX Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 You will get better cooling but not enough to be worth spending the money on unless you need it. The real advantage of the closed loop systems is the fact they leave the case more open to work in. If you need this then buying is a great idea. if not save your money for something that will impact your usage of your PC in a real way.
