Don't know if this is a right place to ask, but here goes. Is it beneficial to upgrade from ID Cooling 240mm aio to corsair h115i 280mm aio? Is there any significant improvement on temperature? My rig is using i56600k running at 4.6ghz@1.32v with max core temps reaching 85c. Just changed thermal paste to kyronaut grizzly. Any comments please? Thanks.

Your temp is constantly 85c? What are you running that keeps your CPU at peak?

In any case, 280mm rad is definitely better in cooling compared to 240mm rad. Do also note that the fans play a part in the cooling process too

Umm not constantly 85c. Only during under load during benchmark or stress test. Normal gaming load hovers around 50c average. I am currently using stock fans that comes with the aio. On paper spec says it have 84.5cfm and 3.2mmH2O static pressure. Btw, any fans suggestion for radiator?

No need to change la since you say under normal usage condition avg temp is 50C. Btw, don't bench or stress test unnecessarily. Doing so reduces the lifespan of your rig. In any case if for some reason you still want to change your fans, you will need those that provide static pressure. For case fans, fans designed for higher airflow is required.

Yea well. Was itching to get it to stable 4.7ghz but can't due to insufficient cooling. Yup, might gonna get some new sp fans cu id cooling stock fans are very loud under load. Thanks for advice bro. Appreciate it.
