Hi Everyone,

I live in the Middle East and I have limited Air cooler options to buy from through local shops. (don't want to ship).

After a few weeks of research I really wanted a Noctua Cooler plus their case fans but are not available so will have to settle for one of these coolers listed below, please can you help me decide which is best considering my priorities:

Noise is my major priority
Cost is my least priority

Will be OC a i5 4670 to 4.2 ghz tops
EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti
Fractal Design Case R4
Low Profile RAM
Z87 ASUS A - ATX mobo
Seasonic 620W Power supply

The options are:

Thermaltake CLP0600 Contact 21 CPU Cooler
Antec KUHLER box High-performance CPU Cooler
Cooler Master Hyper T4 - CPU Cooler
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler
Thermaltake CLP0596 130mm Frio Advanced

Appreciate your help on this. Please let me know what you reckon is best considering above priorities.

Thanks for your reply Ganon.
I have heard the Evo 212 can be bit on the noisy side but perhaps in comparison to the rest mentioned above its the best of the bunch.

Whats your thoughts on slapping another fan on it - for a push / pull configuration? Worth it? Or is the extra cooling not worth the extra fan noise.

If you get a silent fan I see no big issue, only that you might need extra fan mounts.
