Stuck for a cooler.

CommanderKyou · Jul 23, 2014

Not sure if I should get the Noctua NH-D14 or the
Noctua NH-L9a

I have a AMD A8 6600k
FM2 A55M E33 motherboard by MSI and a GTX 760 by ASUS with 32 GB ram.

CommanderKyou :

If you don't OC heavily, get the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. Saves you some $$$.

Hope I helped!

I will think about that one too. But what do you think out of the two I mentioned?

CommanderKyou :

If money's not a problem, I would go for the D14.

Hope I helped!

Thanks man, I'm a little concerned on the fit. You think It would fit in my CiT Vantage with a custom door with four 120mm door fans. the only stick in as much as the original case.

CommanderKyou :

If cooler height is an issue, I'd get a slim cooler from Noctua.

Not sure if is all that good. Gotta be better than a busted stock cooler xDD. It just says that it's not recommended for anything over 65W and mine is 100w APU, I will be swapping to intel again soon and this cooler will go into the other rig but over all, I'm very unsure what to get. The small one looks great because it is very well made but its made for mini atx cases and the larger one might be pushing on my door fans. Hmm... Inside is very cold since the air flow is perfect thanks to the modified case. I have cut out a very neat, (Professional looking) mesh for top mounted fans and rebuilt the door to hold four 120mm fans and the top holds 4 also. the front has had the 120 removed and the HDD bay lowered then another two 120mm fans mounted behind the mesh.

I should mention that the APU is a mere CPU now because of the GTX 760. And yes yes, I know it defeats the point in having a APU but the AMD is not a staying CPU.

So it should lower the load on temps because the GPU is working alone away from the CPU.

As for temps using the stock cooler, I was getting very strange reading the older it got, Dust or a faulty fan, When I got it, it ran ice cold, not over 30c, now the old stock cooler runs at 4000-5000 RPM in idle and makes a clicking sound, not only that but even with my cases great airflow the cpu was sitting at 69c in idle

I'm not sure if they are faulty readings but, what can you do lol.
