Noctua UH-14S or do I need stronger?

Shnuggles · Nov 22, 2015

Hey, I'm currently in the process of building my computer, I now have ALL parts except for the fan, which I need help with, my build is here -> http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Zcdggs

Will the Noctua UH-14S be just fine with that build or will I need a stronger/better one for this particular build? I'm also looking at the H110i GTX AIO by Corsair, but very VERY nervous as I've never done water cooling before and if I get the H110i GTX AIO will it fit the case I have? (Thermaltake Level 10 GT Snow Edition)

Again, thank you to everyone for the help in advance.

Just go with air cooling then, it will be enough. Noctua UH-14S or the one with dual fan will do the job unless you're going to overclock the s*** out of your cpu

. Though this could do the job even better ( it's available in multiple colors) http://pcpartpicker.com/part/phanteks-cpu-cooler-phtc14pe

With the Phantek he needs to make sure he uses low profile ram.I don't think that the Dominator will fitt under that.

For watercooling will only a dual 120mm rad be good,the one you thought of is a dual 140mm rad.Something in the lines of the H100i/gtx,Corsair H105 or Silverstone TD02-LITE for instance.Look at some reviews about the case for more info.
Some options compared,

the Silverstone seems to be a good one for the price.Again read some reviews about it.

My bad, I somehow ignored ram compatibility issue with phanteks cooler. Good quality air coolers perform almost the same as AIO water coolers. So if you are unsure about water cooling go with air cooling, you don't lose that much by doing so.

CRYORIG R1 Universal CPU Cooler

Unmatched Compatibility
Zero RAM Interference

Focusing on providing the widest range of compatibility, the R1 utilizes an asymmetric slanted heatpipe layout to move the front heatsink fin stack further away from the RAM zone. Also, fitted with a 13mm thin XT140 the CRYORIG R1 offers optimal compatibility for RAM with tall heat spreaders on both Intel (115X/1366/775) and AMD platforms.

Will the H100i GTX work with my case? That's the one I'm sold on right now, really fell in love with it.

A 240mm radiator like that should fit fine.I would go for the Silverstone looking at reviews and price/performance,but that's me.
