get the noctua. Very good cooler with very silent fans.

EDIT
Cooler master 212 EVO is the best price/performance and this is why it is recommended everywhere, but it is not the best cooler

If you can spend the 100 why not just got for the h100i? Great cooler, and looks much nicer then a massive heatsink/fan combo.

Yeah but a water cooler has risk of leaking which could damage your component and corsair will not refund damaged parts.

I understand why someone would prefer air over water. And this is from a H100i owner.

getdamafiaonyou · Aug 27, 2014

I guess that's true too, I just love my h100i (just not the craptastic fans it comes with)

pierrerock · Aug 27, 2014

Be careful if you want to change those fans, there is two type of fans. Air cooler need dynamic fans while water cooling heatsink need static fans.

these corsair static fans are very good. just a little bit noisy but hey put on some good headphone and you will not hear them anymore XD

also, not to hijack, but how prone are these things to leaking? should i be checking it every few weeks?

getdamafiaonyou · Aug 27, 2014

pierrerock :

I'll be using the corsair fans they always show on the h100i in their builds, and right now I'm in the process of liquid cooling my reference 290x, so those fan's are like joy to my ears over the jet engine that is AMD's cooling.

getdamafiaonyou · Aug 27, 2014

Ok so then my 2 cents since we've hijacked his thread so much. the noctua is a great cooler, go with it, that said the 212 evo is a great budget cooler, I had it previously, slapped some different fans on it and was happy for a long time.

was checking on the web and notice the Noctua D-15 http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/noctua-cpu-cooler-nhd15
should i got for this one or stick to de D14

pierrerock · Aug 28, 2014

NH-D15 pack 2 140 mm fans instead of one 120 and one 140 mm

NH-D15 has 140 m³/H aiflow vs 110 for D14

NH-D15 is nosier also.

getdamafiaonyou :

Should never leak, should never need any filling or changing of coolant.

pierrerock · Sep 5, 2014

They are designed to last at least the time they are on warranty. If i remember well, Corsair provide a 5 Year warranty.

Just to be sure, i would check for cracks or leaks every time I clean my computer from dust and other things like that (Which you should do each 3-6 month depending on dust in the room)
