Corsair h100i vs NH-d14

shoomee · Jun 2, 2014

I am building a PC using the Antec 1100 V2 case with an 17 4770k. I want to know what cooler would look best, last longest, get coolest temps and work best.

Thanks for any help!

SR71 has used the noctua to hit 5.0 GHZ on an FX8350, and a series of other coolers. The noctua will probably be louder and take up WAY more space. The H100i is a 120x240mm radiator, the H100 is a 140x280mm radiator, so more surface area.

Those coolers are pretty much equal, but I'd recommend the Noctua since it's so much cheaper.

no way noctua be louder than a h100 =) h100 with noctua fans will be nice. nh-d14 best option cooler and quiet

The noctua fans are HECKA UGULY!

The Noctua Fans are ugly but they are efficient.

Indeed.

Here's Tom's comparison: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/h100i-elc240-seidon-240m-lq320,3380-14.html

The H100i is slightly cooler, much louder (under load) and much more expensive.

Y0GI :

where would I mount the radiator in my case?

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 2, 2014

The h80 will fit in it.

h100i has a 240mm radiator. There is two 120mm mounts on the top. Would that work.

Those fan mounts are important for air flow though.

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 2, 2014

No it's not compatible.

shoomee · Jun 2, 2014

I guess I will go with the Noctua.

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 2, 2014

It's a great choice , won't disappoint.

shoomee · Jun 2, 2014

It's so bulky and ugly XD Oh well I hear you can dye the fans. Guess I'll just dye them blue.

Phanteks PH-TC14PE 140mm UFB (Updraft Floating Balance) CPU Cooler

Comes in 5 colors , just as good as the Noctua.

Hello man · Jun 2, 2014

Wait, a 240MM radiator on 2 120MM fan holes will totally fit, unless I am missing something.

Hello man :

But are those fan slots important?
