I am planing on getting a Phanteks Enthoo Pro case. What cpu cooler from Phanteks should I get to match the case?

The Phanteks PH-TC14PE is a great CPU cooler, it's a tiny bit better than the Noctua NH-D14

I love the look of this one. Would suit the Enthoo Pro nicely.

It's not considering the noise vs the D14

It's actually quite quiet. Not as quiet as Noctua, but not too far off. I have the smaller brother of the TC14 and it's wonderful. Comes in all sorts of colors too :D

It consistently performs better at COOLING than the D14. Aestically, with the color options for the phanteks cpu coolers, it certainly LOOKS better out of the box.

If the noise levels are the primary criteria for choosing a CPU cooler, then yes, the Nocuta D14 is going to be quieter.

if you are into looks, the TC14PE_BK is the way to go, the NH-D14 looks

out-of-place with the bright finish and beige fans. as soon as i got my D14

mounted, i took it off, no disrespect to Noctua, but not in the Pro.

Wait for the Cooler Master Seidon 240M for hit $50-$60 again on Newegg.
