Like title says, I need help looking for a replacement CPU fan or heatsink as the one I am wanting is out of stock currently and I am looking to make the purchase very soon within the next few hours the one I was going to use was the Noctuo NH-D14 @ 89$

Looking for something better or comparable may need more than one option duo to stock issue.

Is it worth it to get air cooling or would I still need CPU heatsink .

please help thx

What is your socket kind? Any overclocking?
For most all uses that is a great cooler. It comes with the "heat sync" so no worries about another buy.
Note: That fan and heat sync is big so i hope you have a decent sized case.

I wouldn't suggest the rip jaws because the large heat spreader will get in the way of your CPU cooler, this would be a non issue if you went with a water cooled solution. I think the corsair H90 would be a comparable water cooler to match the noctua.
