Best looking air cooler with good performance?

[ButCanItBacon]

Hi, does anyone know of a good looking cooler but has good performance as well? I have already heard of the Cooler Master V8 GTS but are there any others?

 

BTW: i need something to match the black/red color scheme in my computer.

 

 

Thanks.

good looking is all opinion, performance the noctua d15 is probably the best air cooler right now.

be quiet and phanteks coolers

NZXT Kraken X61 . It is a air cooler because the Fans push through the air through the radiator in order to cool the liquid.

Be quite dark rock

Be quiet Dark Rock 3, Cryorig R1, GamerStorm Assassin or Phanteks PH-TC14PE

You could say same for custom loop  

 

But i agree, if you have budget go for it. It looks great and performs the best.

Be Quiet! coolers are all black (at least the expensive ones)

phanteks

That big phanteks one. I always forget the model number.

I'm not very keen on the looks of be quiet cooler, the cryorig r1 does look nice, gamerstorm assasin is WAY too large and i dont like the look of the phanteks cooler. Any more guys?

The coolers I mentioned are high end air coolers, which sit above of the performance charts. There are other ones, like the Thermalright Silver arrow, but I think that's not your style. You can always get a Prolimatech Megahelms and put 2 premium fans on it.

The Cryorig R1 is baller, if you can find it , get it.

ok, I can't find the cryorig r1 but i'll probably just get the V8 GTS. It looks amazing and performs pretty good. Thanks for the advice you guys gave me anyway! Really appreciate it

I wanna know what the one on Frozencpu is that looks like a jet engine, it's just an image, doesn't actually seem to exist

If looks > performance it's ok, but the V8 GTS doesn't perform that good.. http://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/cooler_master_v8_gts_review,9.html

Yeah, IYO. Oh well, can't argue over personal taste.

Thanks.

Noctua U14S. It's earthy color tones will match any contemporary build.

That looks pretty awesome tbh

ouch, are there any other ones that look good but offer great performance? (oh, i forgot to mention that I have a black/red color scheme in my computer so anything black, red or even both will be greatly appreciated.) Thanks.

Nah, looks horrible imo

Too bad, you could (if you're crazy/budget ballin enough) put a IPPC NF-A14 on it. Another option is the Deepcool Lucifer, it's easily one of the best looking heatsinks IMO and cheap enough that you won't feel bad putting a better/more aesthetically pleasing fan on there. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Deepcool/Lucifer/    Say a Noiseblocker BlackSilent Pro PK2/3 or PL2. You live in the UK, they're pretty cheap there.

lol, im VERY picky when it comes to PC parts . It looks alright, but i want a black or red heatsink (am thinking of getting be quiet or v8 gts, depends.)

Not if you put the 3000 rpm black fans on it.

 

They need to get over themselves and make the brown line just be black. Or do purple or something, cuz brown just looks like shit.

Cryorig r1 ultimate/universal. I personally have the ultimate and I love it.
