Noctua NH-D14 Vs Corsair H70

In this video I compare the Corsair H70, to the Noctua NH-D14 and also a custom water-cooling system of mine. What I am trying to show is that its not worth paying the extra for low end water-cooling, you might as well just stick with high end air cooling. Also that if you are going to go for water-cooling, cheap kits just don't cut it, you need to do it properly if you are going to get any kind of decent results. It was difficult to cram it all into a 15 minute video, so sorry about all the editing.

What is wrong with this guy's temps? He's getting 80 degrees with a NH-D14 on a 2600k at 4.6 Gwhile i only get a max of 70 after running prime95 for 30 mins.

@crap828 Another happy customer for a lesson in hardware temperatures. OK then for a start I am using Degrees Celsius. Even more importantly something that I talked about in the video that you missed or skipped is the fact that the ambient temps directly effect the hardware temps. So my ambient temp is 33C and as you say the temps with the NH-D14 is 80C, well what if my ambient temp was 23C? Do you know what your ambient temp was when you took your temp of 70C.

So you have to buy a car radiator and add custom parts tubes pump etc etc to it? if so that's what I'm going to do. cause I'm not spending $1300 dollars on a fucking CPU cooler.

@HD5830Gamer Do some research and learn more about water-cooling and you will understand what's going on.

$1000 watercooling and cheap dual 460s. Should went for a cheaper water cooling setup and bought better GPUs. Nothing is wrong with the 460s just seems like the budget went the wrong direction

@alien4085 Its a test bed, everything is temp. This video is also nearly a year old.

@SingularityComputers Delete peoples comments because you can't take the truth!

When you do a comparison, compare apples with apples, not $130 products to $1300 just cause you want to show off your car radiator

@comneard55 EIST and C1E are enabled, so idle temp is 35°C

@Wesdamac8 ur so full of shit...

[comneard55]

@MediaOffIine Whats your idle temps?? 

[MediaOffIine]

Noctua NH-D14 is mega cooler - literally and in alienable, but I think Corsair H70 win! And btw - H70 is not full filled with cooling fluid, almost full but not for 100%, it is obvious, so I think the best position for his work is when tubes are at bottom, not at top as in Your case. And finally - in one of my PC's I currently have H70 on i7 2600k OC to 4.4 GHz, max temps = 60°C, ambient temp 25°C, pump working at full speed, fans about 2/3 rpm with rpm reg. (just for noise controll).

@ReconTechTips Ambient!

[Wesdamac8]

nice man you got alot of gear specially your custom watercooler

Im running amd fx-4100 overclocked to 4.5Ghz 1.425Volts cooled by a H60 MAX temp 40c 100load with aid64

[crap828]

@SingularityComputers I am obviously measuring in degrees Celsius because if it was 70°F it would be 21°C. You never mentioned the ambient temp and how would I have guessed it would be 33°C, with all that money spent on computers I thought you would have an air con unit installed. My ambient temp was 27°C and that still makes your temps 4°C higher than mine and 4°C is a lot when cooling it 10°C more your NH-D14 costs over $1000.
