CPU cooler again.

enamak · Aug 25, 2014

So this is my thrid thread about cpu coolers, first i was going for 212 EVO, then i wanted some xiagmatek dark knigh.
I just want to know wich one of these is better performance/noise.

Thermaltake frio snow edition ock (i love the design of this cooler)
Nzxt havik 140 (i heard its silent while performing better or as good as the frio ock)
Thermalright hr-02 macho
Xigmatek aegir 1 fan and add a second after

I will use an aftermarket thermal paste (mx-4) with any cooler. And i know noctua d14 its very good but i hate the design and size.

Thanks for reading and hope you can help me

What's your budget and I will look one for performance and sound level.

What height do you have in your case? Do all those coolers fit? Are they all within budget? What is that budget?

Look up their performance in Frosty Tech.

My budget its 105 dollars (70 euros), but can go to 80 euros if really needed.
My case can have up to 172mm high cpu coolers.

What's your CPU?

enamak · Aug 25, 2014

Ok ill have a look after i cant now.
Bit about the frio ock vs havik wich is better?

Here are some which are great and below 20dbA. Personally you will never go wrong with a Noctua fan but they may not look as appealing as some others.

I would go with Noctua out of the three. But the rest I would not even touch.

Yes the NHC14 is quiet like you wanted and will cool really well.

enamak · Aug 25, 2014

But not talking aboit noise now. Wich of the three will keep my cpu cooler

?

enamak :

In my opinion, Noctua is the best option if it is not water cool. So yes overclock or not, Noctua is the best. I would actually go with Noctua NH-D14 which is the best but a bit loud.

enamak · Aug 25, 2014

I dont wank noctua d14 cause its to ugly and bug haha, i take some consideration in the design.
Ill think about these 3 coolers now

but im more towards noctua, thanks for all ur help
