Corsair H100i (stock fans)
or
Noctua 6 Dual Heatpipe
with
two Noctua NF-F12 Fans

Please help me
The second option is more expensive though...
For the H100i, I do not want to replace the fans, because it's too expensive.
Thank You :)
 
There is no 'Noctua 5 dual Heatpipe' lol are you talking about the D14, U14, U12, etc?

The NH-D14 will perform similarly to the H100i at stock voltages and clock rates, but the H100i will beat out slightly at moderate or more overclocks. The H100i is noticeably louder though at full RPM than the Noctua fans are.

If your case doesn't have a window, I would go with the Noctua D14. If it does have a window, and you care a lot about aesthetics, the H100i is also a great choice.

What do u mean my case has windows?
I have not decide my case
Probably either Corsair 400r, 500r, or maybe NZXT Phantom 410
Also, how about the noise?

 


I meant if you can see inside your case. The D14 is extremely bulky, and I personally can't stand the colors of Noctua fans. But if the look of the inside of your computer isn't a big concern, I would go for the Noctua D14.

I do not care about the color.
Is Corsair H100i with two Noctua F12 better
or
Noctua D14 with two Noctua F12 (for top)?

Which one is the best?
OR they are all the same?
 
H110 does not have Corsair Link, neither does the H60.

Having used the H100i and H110, the H110 is a decent bit better than the H100i. I plugged my fan splitter into the 4-pin motherboard header incorrectly, and the fans didn't even turn on. Took me about 15 minutes to realize they weren't on, as I was downloading a game on Steam, but my temps never rose above 35 - with no fans on.

I think I know which cpu cooler I will chose. But still, what cases is the best for me?
It has to be less than 200,
