So I'm going to get a 2500K and am looking for a heatsink for it. I will be doing some overclocking, but since I wont be getting super aggressive with it a few degrees less isn't my top priority. I want a good cooling option no doubt, but I'm willing to sacrifice 3-5 degrees for a few dB.
What I've seen so far is that the Noctua D14 is not only quiet it's great at cooling. While I'm willing to go this route right now I'm just looking for alternatives so I have options to choose from.
The only drawbacks to this cooler are that since it's so big it limits my memory choices, so memory that I may be able to get a great deal on I can't even use due to its size. This ends up kicking me twice as far as price goes. Price of the heatsink and price of memory.
Is there anything out there that's as quiet as (or even quieter) than the Noctua D14, and smaller?
