NH-D14. Best air cooler on the market. Performance and quietness. I'd love to buy one if I had budget for it.

It says it's 54 Db.

Isn't that loud?

The key difference between the 2 coolers is that the dark rock 3 pro features PWM fans. That means that even if the noctua fans are slightly quieter at full speed, 99% of the time when you aren't running at full speed, the dark rock 3 pro will be quieter. I have the d14 and it's very good but if I was buying today, I would go for the dark rock.

Great cooler. How is the noise to you? Can you hear it?
