The H100 is way overkill on that cpu. I never paid much attention to the "4 Core" variant but the price seems to be right on for what your getting so no complaints there. But unless your overclocking it to hell and back it shouldnt put out enough heat to have warranted the 100 versus the H80 etc.

As expected prior to the latest scheduling patch it gets beat down by Real AMD quad core Phenom's. Hopefully with the new patch for windows itll at least rise up against the i3's atleast. I find the cinibench tests relevant to myself because of the raytraced renders I do that take a long time - http://www.legitreviews.com/images/reviews/1766/cinebench.jpg

Rain, the H100 was only 10 bucks more...lol, That's why I went with it, The H80 would have been an easier install for sure, and Fast I have a picture, Its a full tower
