Theycallmejoey wrote Okay not sure what cpu cooler to get, i have the i5 4690k and plan to overclocked my case is the fractal design define r4 not sure if that matters but i can spend 100-150$ USD

The Corsair H100i and the H105 are amazing for overclocking. I just got the h60 and its amazing but I don't plan on overclocking

Those photos literally prove nothing. Ironically, not having time to e-mail yourself some photos leads me to believe that you in fact, don't "have a life". Also not sure you'd have to e-mail yourself. That H100i doesn't at all look to me like it.s on your H100i. Idle temps also mean jack shit and you're not using a proper temperature monitoring software, like HWMonitor.


Now, on topic. H100i is out-performed by cheaper air coolers. NH-D15, NH-D14, PH-TC14PE, and Dark Rock Pro 3 are only a few examples. H60 is a terrible choice. 120/140mm AIOs are not worth it since similarly priced, or cheaper air coolers are better. If you're spending the money on an AIO, at least get a good one.

I don't see what they don't prove? Are you seriously saying that an application on your computer can detect temperature better than my motherboard that has sensors in it for the sole purpose of detecting temperature? That's hilarious. It's dark down beside my computer and I have a black case with a black cooler with a black motherboard. I clearly stated that you would have trouble seeing the pics but YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE 30. Stop crying because you're wrong that my computer can run at a far lower temperature than you predicted.

And no, I meant that TTG isn't a huge part of my life so I don't go on it every day, I literally wasn't online till a couple of hours ago since you posted that reply.

And how's it idle temp? I'm playing CSGO as I clearly stated, if it was idle temp then it would be 20-25 Degrees. AS I CLEARLY STATED.

Your GTX 970 does not idle at 20c, it's that simple. Download HWMonitor, download Gyazo, and then show us a screenshot of your HWMonitor temps.

It doesn't matter how dark your PC is, that definitely doesn't look like an H100i on a 970. Anyway, it's 2015, surely your phone/camera/device has a flash. If not, it's not hard to turn lights on. Unless you're talking bs, that is.

20 Degrees? I didn't say it did, I said 20-25. My phone does have a flash but it's clearly a corsair cooler? You know my specs, I'm not bullshitting. The motherboard says 30 degrees.

Not sure if this is the App that you mean but anyway:

EDIT: Download the pic and open in paint and zoom in or something.

Well okay then....... Didn't expect all of this lol

Lmfao. Your motherboard temperature has nothing to do with your GPU temperature. Good try. Just because you've posted a blurry, unclear photo of a Corsair logo, does not mean you have an H100i on your GPU.stop talking shit.

P.S "20-25" is 20c. If you say your GPU runs at 20-25c, that means it runs at 20c at some point.

I wouldn't say "Oh my 970 runs at 3-70c" if it never hits 3c.

Until you show us a screenshot of your GPU's temperature(which you claimed was 20-25c), I'm not going to take you seriously.

Just so you don't post yet another invalid photo, that's what you should be posting.

Also, FYI, the reason I know your GPU is not running anywhere near 20c is because your average room temperature is round about 20-23c. Your GPU is obviously going to run hotter than that. Now, let's see some more of that bs talk?

Not sure why you continue to waste our time.

Stop being a ****. He's just trying to get help with his PC, if you don't want to answer his threads then don't bother.

OP: If you know what you're doing try getting a liquid cooler, they're really efficient and they keep my GTX 970 running on like 30 Degrees

I've got a Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

30c in what? Your dreams. Until you show proof, no one will believe you.

Read the other replies, I showed several photos of proof. Retard.

What? When I said it runs between 20-25 it means between those numbers you spastic and I said on start up. Do you seriously think that if I turn my PC on and instantly take a photo of the temperature it wont be between 20-25 degrees? I'm actually worried for you. There's a dash for a reason? I never said that I've seen it run at 20 Degrees, I'm just saying that if I started up my PC and instantly took a photo I could probably get it between those numbers. Also I live in Northern Ireland and it's freezing here. For all you know, I could be running my computer from am igloo in Antarctica.

And don't bullshit me, I can find about 10 threads online that show that a cooler can easily cool down to as low as 30 Degrees.

Normal GPUs are about 40 Degrees on idle but most of them aren't cooled like mine are and they're far worse models. I don't think you understand my point. I'm not saying that my cooler is fully responsible for my GPU running so low, all I'm telling you that it does run that low and I'm showing photos. Irrelavent if it's because of how cold my room is or how many fans I have, IT DOES RUN THAT LOW.

I've literally given up finding threads because there's so many and you're not worth wasting anymore time on.

Your argument is pathetic. Do you seriously think that because my room temperature is 20-26 degrees then my CPU/GPU can't be any lower? If that's your logic then if I light a small candle in my house that burns at approximately about 1400 oC then my body temperature can't possibly be less than 1400 oC when infact it's still the exact same (37 degrees Celsius). I'm actually losing brain-cells in this argument, your logic means that fridges and freezers aren't even possible because "Room temperature is approximately 20-26c".

There's so many other factors involved such as the fact that heat rises and guess what? My computer is beside a massive fan, a window and under a desk at the lowest point possible and better still, there's seven fans in my case! Most devices for recording temperature are placed at head height, not at the floor. I literally have no words to describe your stupidity. You clearly know nothing about temperature. Every computer is different, as I said before. stop crying.

Oh no, you don't even know average room temperature. Room temperature is taken to be 20 to 26 Celsius. And you somehow know my average room temperature? Hilarious, we probably live on the other-side of the world and you're telling me the temperature of my room.

My motherboard temperature has nothing to do with my GPU tempature? No worries, oh look, I just set my motherboard on fire and.. oh look my GPU is getting hotter. Seems legit.

Are you serious? You don't know what a H100i looks like? You can clearly see the square with Corsair on it and the tubes and I've posted on various threads that I have a H100i, seriously my setup cost me over £2000, a £100 liquid cooler is nothing.

And if I'm genuinely wrong (which i'm not ) does it even matter? There's really no difference if my GPU is 20c or 60c since it can easily withstand far greater temperatures.

I must be dealing with a small child, honestly.

ooh shnap your setup cost over 2K and only has a £100 cooler in it.. why not custom loop bruh?

970 at 20C, I have a Windforce card, one of the, if not the best air cooler for it and what do I see?

Room temperature does make a huge difference, go to Arizona for example and your PC will be running a lot hotter than it would be in miserable UK, heck even a nice hot day here makes a difference, seen CPU hit 60+ with a H100i when it was like 33C a while back and GPU idled at 45C, so ambient temp does make a huge difference.

also use of your mom meme was stupid and unnecessary.
