So I can't decide between the h100i, and the noctua nh-d15. With the h100i im worried about the pump noise, and with my luck leaking. With the noctua I'm worried about the size of it. I have trident x ram which is very high profile. Does it still preform will with just 1 fan? I think it would fit over my ram if i take off the 2nd fan. I'm aiming to have my pc as close to silent as I can get it.

i would go with the H100i simply because the idea of hanging 5kgs of steel off of my motherboard socket isnt particularly appealing, as for leakage, yes it is entirely possible that the H100i might leak however it is a a very solidly built closed loop cooler, the chances of that leaking are very very slim ...in terms of cooling btw, both of them are very very similar http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cooling/2014/05/01/noctua-nh-d15-review/2

well how loud something is is completely subjective.....i can definitely guarantee that the H100i will certainly be no louser than the NH-D15
EDIT: the pump-noise problem is apparently due to the pump not getting enough power http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?t=112256 the fix to this is not to run the fans off the pumps sata connection but rather your motherboard or fan controller
