I think this one would be better. Probably because better tech, or newer tech. But sure, would make an interesting comparison.
 
guys h80 is retailing for 110 dollars. thats 5k in USA. imagine in india around 6K!!! and further imagine h100!!! and i dont believe the price is that reasonable.. nh d14 sells for less..
 
Expect it to launch for around 5.2 to 5.5k... And dollar price have dropped a lot lately... 1$ = 44.70...

Don't compare it to air cooling products though the function is the same the tech and equipment needed in producing the WC kit is vastly different, but compare it to other WC kits or options, and then you might believe that this is a bit more reasonable....
 
To be frank, H80 is not bad. It can take on D14 in most conditions.

ITs not meant to beat these massive heatsinks. Its meant to be a product that offers a easy setup option for those who are willing to shell out little extra money to avoid buying massive heatsinks and big cabinets or those who dont like to use heavy and big heatsinks on their motherboards.

I am testing H80 as of now and I can tell you that it will and can match or even better D14 depending on the conditions and overclock on the chip. D14 shines on open bench table. Its almost unbeatable by anything other than full fledged wcing kit if you are testing on open bench. For H80 to come very very very close to it (it actually matches it from my initial testing ).

Products like H80 will always carry that little premium over the conventional heatsinks. But then again they are never aimed at those on slim budget or DIYers.

im sure the h100 would match if not take the d14 down in a push config and certainly overtake the beast of a heatsink with push pull

the cheapest complete W/C kit available is the rasa kit which is for 130usd but taxes and shipping will be a hassle
