Should I get this one or the other H100I? Are they any different?

Well, there's a slight difference. It's mainly price, though. Tom's Hardware ran tests comparing the 2 water coolers, though. Here are the results: Intel Core i5-3570K OC'd to 5.6GHz - Temperature ratings: (Lower is better) Corsair Hydro Series H100i Idle: 54.3(C) Load: 76.3(C) Corsair Hydro Series H110 Idle: 50.2(C) Load: 72.2(C) Intel Core i5-3570K OC'd to 4.6GHz - System Noise (Lower is better) Corsair Hydro Series H100i Idle: 38.9db Load: 47.8db Corsair Hydro Series H110 Idle: 38.8db Load: 44.5db Hope that answers your question. There isn't really "much" of a difference, so it depends if you want to spend an extra $10 or not.

I recommend this H110 280mm. It's been working great since I got it. No more overheat and crash
1738872
I have the 110, however I was wanting the features of the H100I which I thought was incorporated with the H110 but it is all mechanical. No software to control anything. The H110 is a great unit, however you will need to purchase an additional (2) 140mm fans and install them instead of the stock fans due to the Corsair fans are very loud. I used these fans: Cooler Master Sleeve Bearing 140mm Silent Fan for Computer Cases and Radiators

The H100i has a 240mm radiator with 2x 120mm fans. The H110 has a 280mm radiator with 2x 140mm fans so the surface area of the radiator is bigger than the H100i. Purchase the one that will fit in your case.

I would not get the H100i. The Corsair Link software is hideous and does not work properly. It's truly awful in Windows 8.

Maybe 12inch 10? Its much like the h100 but slightly thicker surface area but will fit any case that can suposrt 240mm compared to the h100i or 110 pr the nother new series of corsair that recently came out, the temps are better and performs well in overclock, i got a fx8350 overclocked at 4.9ghz temps is at 29-35 degrees full load 45-55 ive had it quite some time now, and works really cool really awesome!

Honestly I think the H100i is the biggest you can fit without modifying the case. It's a tight squeeze with fans mounted on the Radiator.

This one is better than the 212 evo but it is depend on the power supply that you have to support for the liquid cooler the H75 have 2 fan so it cool down your cpu faster. That is my opinion.
860857
Honestly if you have a fan controller it doesn't really matter sound wise, more or less the same but with different fans. I changed my fans out on my h100i to SP fans(loud) and I have them running slow and quiet. Temps... Meh not an issue at 4.5Ghz X99 Haswell-e ...

The difference is strictly how many components can be hooked up to it. I believe the H10 is 250 watts and the H15 is 400 watts. They both perform the same for power conditioning and component protection. I bought two H15 units out of an ubundance of caution, when I had more power-hungry components. I've never gone above 50% of the H15's capacity, and as new components become more efficient the percentage will continue to drop. If I was buying one today, I'd be much more likely to select an H10 than before.

Liquid cooling is best with this particular motherboard. Yet, it all comes down with what you are experienced with and personal preference. In my opinion, liquid cooling really brings out all the potential in this motherboard. For beginners in the water cooling side I would purchase a h100i or an nzxt kraken. This board comes with most everything you would need for sli and etc. Getting into detail It does has 4 dimm slots and 16+ gb of ram (32 preferably) would suffice. It is a wonderful board in my build of which was built last November and still running strong. My best wishes,Joshua -- IT Expert Liquid cooling is best with this particular motherboard.

Yes most definitely. The motherboard cut-out is not very big (doesn't even open enough to fit my 1155 i7) so I had to install my H100i onto the CPU before mounting the MB to the tray.

You do not NEED to buy another fan/heatsink, as it comes with one. If you are in a warm environment and/or plan to overclock I would suggest you do. A great air cooling option I would suggest the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. You can find it under $35 and its cool/quiet. I use water cooling H80i with this CPU but only because of extreme overclocking.

Yes it would, but I think h100i and H105i are the same there is no improvement in the performance.

I would recomend an h100i if u have the $,or a really really good air cooler.h100i only about $100.for graphics cards if again you have d $ 4 gb card like 2 gtx 770's , if low on cash 760's sli, for the cpu ivy bridge 3770k or 3570k for ram corsair vengence for 4 gb sticks.hope this help ,you could always ask for help again.

I have 4 of these on a H100i and haven't had any problems. You should return it and get a replacement. There is always a chance that a part will be defective. It is just how lucky you are. Corsair is still the way to go. These fans rock. Or the CoolerMaster JetFlo

I considered both the NH-U12S and the h100i to cool an i7-4790k @ 4.7GHz. The difference on paper was 8-10 degrees, but the cost was another $40 for the water rig. My PC runs 24/7 and I have yet to see the CPU over 40C, whether gaming or doing digital forensic work on it. Other than being able to say "it's water-cooled." I really see no reason to spend the extra money. The NH-U12S does an excellent job cooling and runs very quietly, even on one fan.

The H70 cools better, but it also is noisier. For most people the H50 is still the best choice.

The one that comes in the box should probably be adequate, however, I bought a water cooling system for my system. I bought the top-of-the-line Corsair H100i. Keeps my system nice and cool, and I can run heavy duty games with little impact. Highly recommended. Corsair Hydro Series Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler H100i

Yes, the Mobo will fit without issue and YES...the H100i will fit! This case, although designed for larger 140mm FANs and 280mm radiators, also supports 120mm fans with 240mm radiators. You can use 120mm fans anywhere in the case (front, top, bottom, and back). Radiator mount points can be at the top, front, or bottom, depending on how you configure your system (PSU/HDDs/Fans). Check the tech specs at Corsair's website. The details are all there. http://www.corsair.com/en-us/obsidian-series-450d-mid-tower-pc-case

You will definitely need either high end air Noctua ND-H14 or Corsair H100.Its not so much the over clocking it is the actual rating of 220W TDP. I went with water cooling myself and the AMD FX9590 replacing my FX9370.It is a nice processor and you will enjoy it. Thanks
