I have both of these models running at full load with the Kraken G10 bracket on the same GPU model.
The H105 runs at a cool 36 C.
The H55 runs at 54 C.
With the stock cooler it runs about 65-70 C.
I am wondering if there should be so much difference between the H55 and H105 an why that is. I can tell the H105 has a much larger radiator and more powerful fans. How much improvement might I get by replacing the H55 fan such as an NF-12 PPC? I had a bad experience mounting the kraken with the H55. I was confused by the directions about the adhesive foam blocks and the card was very tilted while I was tightening the screws. I removed the blocks and tried to tighten a bit more, but I don't know if it's worth reseating the H55/kraken. 10 C improvement vs. stock isn't bad but of course I'd still like more.
