PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK

Making a tough decision for my x99 black and white build... I can't decide between the three... Help make my decision for me.

be quiet! DARK ROCK PRO 3 vs Phanteks PH-TC14PE_BK vs CRYORIG R1 Ultimate

I like the sleek basic look of the dark rock and that it's black (however theres no white), but i also like color scheme from the phanteks cooler but it doesn't look as sleek but still sexy, and as for the cryorig it has good color scheme for what i want but idk if it's the prettiest thing (still looks good though)

Be quiet!: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA68V21E0640
Phanteks: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835709011
Cryorig: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=13C-000U-00002

Should I not be able to make a decision I'll end up be recycling an NZXT x61 then, it's just not the prettiest thing for what my plan is.

For a high-end air cooler, the Cryorig R1 Ultimate or Noctua NH-D15 would be my picks. Any of those would do a good job of keeping your X99 CPU cool..

If you already have the x61, and are looking at expensive air coolers... why not look for replacement fans for your x61 that gives you the look you want? If you go this route, look toward 140mm fans with a noise level under 20 dbA for low noise.
