Yes you'll be able to get around 4.25-4.4Ghz using a H100.

... I'd seriously think about replacing the stock fans, they are astonishingly noisy!!!
also, if you have space in the case, consider going for a push/pull configuration - four fans.

I replaced the stock fans when i 1st brought it :rolleyes: also my case is a 600T which has no room for 2 fans in side, My temps are normal for what the H100 can handle @ full load.

What do you mean by a push/pull configuration four fans ?

2 fans on top pulling and 2 fans on the bottom pushing this can be done only if your case as room inside to fit 2 more fans.

The Nzxt Phantom case has two 200mm fans on the top of the case for a push-pull configuration . If that is what you guys are talking about. Below the top fans is where I am going to install the H100 fans .

Actually he added a reservoir to the H100 to keep a good portion of liquid cooler than a stock H100 would provide. I'm pretty sure it'll be running better temps, but it just doesn't look as cosmetically nice as a stock H100.

I prefer the look of the stock H100 it's simple and clean, does the job I need it too. I'm not breaking any world records, I just want a mild overclock. I have a HAF-X with 2x200mm fans running at the top pulling cool air into the case pass the Rad and another 2x120mm fans pushing it out from the rad to the memory/cpu/mobo area. I like how clean it looks, no heavy, fugly HSFs like the Noctua 😛

Don't get me wrong I like the job the Noctuas and other big HSF do, but I like my builds to be as simple, clean and as minimalistic as I can get it, while keeping it's performance up without too many modifications.
