Hello guys,

I am looking for a cooler for my build currently my specs are :

i7-4770k, Asus Maximus VI Formula,16gb ddr3 2133mhz, 512gb SSD, corsair obsidian 800D,HX850w (Psu) ,windows 8.1. (no graphics card yet before you ask :p)

Now currently I have the stock cooler fitted ,my cpu is stock at 3.5ghz but I want to get to maybe 4ghz with ought changing voltage I think it should be pretty doable and safe , but I need a good cooler first.

I am not going water-cooling as I feel it gives unwanted risks I rather have air cooling, and from what I have read Noctua is the way forward.

The 3 options I need help on is whether to go for the NH-D14 ,NH-U12S,NH-U12P ?

I will be gaming on this pc and this will be my main rig .please help there is no comparison with these 3 coolers as of yet.

Thanks :)
