Hello everyone! Glad to be here and share with you my sad story about AIO cooling and also ask you what air cooler should I use too cool up this baby with a stable oc.

Long story short, a few days ago my h100i gtx from Corsair leaked very bad (after only 1 year and 8 months of usage) so after all the mess caused by it I decided to go with an air cooling solution. Now, this cpu gets hot, and I also have all my system stacked up in a Corsair 780T. I was thinking about the noctua nh-d15 but I don't want to put that ugly massive thing into my rig only if that is the last and only solution. I was looking up at the Cryorig R1 ultimate..sweet looking, good performance but not so many benchmarks with this cpu. I really don't know what to pick :(

I need some suggestions so throw them at me. I will consider every single one. Thank you!

R1 is pretty close to D15 if not the same, thanks for calling my cooler ugly btw. I thought the same about my D15s before i received it. But i cant call it ugly anymore, its very unique. Build quality is amazing and its extremely quiet even on full load. Also its massive cooler make sure it will fit in your case, specially above your RAM sticks.
I was researching on R1 as well, many benchmarks showed similar cooling results to noctua d15.

Sorry :( didn't want to offend you or something, I just think that..well..they could have had better design for that noctua :D. Thanks for your answer, I have a +1 point for cryorig in my list now
