Conclusion
While not the most comprehensive of all-in-one overclocking comparisons, I had one goal in mind – show the potential and thermal performance of each of these coolers.
All of these coolers fit a different type of user and really depends on what you want to achieve from your computer. For the overclocking enthusiasts who wants to break away from traditional air-cooling and into the PC liquid-cooling scene without the hassle of a custom water cooling loop then both the Corsair Hydro Series H110 GT and the Fractal Design Kelvin S36 liquid cooler will both do you just fine with the Fractal Design performing the best overall and the most potential for expansion in the future coming with 1/4 threads and compatibility with 99% of fittings on the market.
The H80i unfortunately I don’t feel is up to the task of sustaining a mild overclock for very long but that doesn’t mean it not a good cooler. The Corsair Hydro Series is the perfect water cooler for gaming computers or servers that won’t be overclocked but you want to stand out a little, there is no denying the H80i still looks the part.
