Hi -
I am getting a Xeon E3 1230 v3 cpu, and i am doing a silent build(of course not totally, but optimising it for quiet operation)
I am going to get an aftermarket cooler, and i do not know which one.
I do have a budget, and i do not want a watercooler.
Right now, i have looked at these -
Noctua nh-d14
Cooler Master hyper 212evo

Any suggestion around the price range of these two? And as i mentioned up there, i am not looking for AIO water coolers.

Thanks, but i would like some more inputs before picking solution :)
Does it matter if i get the noctua over the coolermaster?
Will the noise levels be around the same, or will i notice a difference between the two? How low does the noctua fans go? In rpm.

Unfortunately, the thermalright true spirit is not available where i live(Denmark).
Has nice colors though (white).

But the full question is - even though a D14 is overkill, would it sacrifice performance by downgrading from that to a 212evo? Would i get higher noise levels?
