Annoyed by cpu cooler, Help pick a new one!

Slomou · Jul 2, 2016

Hello I currently own Antec kühler h20 650 and I'm getting borderline mental with the sound levels this cooler produces when gaming or doing anything that makes cpu run hotter. SO I'm currently looking for new cpu cooler that runs cool and preferably quiet. Feel free to guide me to right desicision.
(info about my pc if it matters)
i5-4670k 3.4 (oc later on)
Case:FractalDesign Arc Midi R2
Ram height is 32.8mm

Have you considered doing a little research and finding the appropriate one by yourself??

Yeah i've done some research and I was thinking about Noctua nh-d15 but i dont think it will fit 0.8mm too high

I'll take a look and check few other options too

specs say a cooler up to 180mm tall.
That is huge and will fit anything.
If you are looking at the NH-D15, I suggest one of the more modern s suffix noctua coolers.
They are designed to avoid clearance issues from tall ram heat spreaders and also issues with pcie graphics cards in the first slot.
Sometimes backplates will touch some coolers.
The noctua mounting system is superb.
Easy to install and secure.
What cpu do you need to cool?
For skylake, I find a NH-U12s to be sufficient.

The s equivalent to the NH-D15 is the NH-D15s
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608072
In between is the NH-U145s

Any will cool just as well, if not better in a good case like yours.
The fans come with low noise adapters for even more quiet operation.
