you guys lack taste, bow down to the superior looks of the cryorig universal! honestly not as good looking as i remember, but dammn it would be awesome in a themed build! and it performs great from what i remember, if only they would fix the black parts to make it more slick and integrate the plastic shroud abit better, there probably are better looking coolers but looking around and seeing what people prefer i don't think i am ever going to discover that cooler :P.

360MM 45MM thick radiator will beat out a NH-D14.

 

Comparing CLCs to an Air Cooler though? If you're looking at a 360mm 45mm thick Rad, probably in some sort of custom loop, which costs how much comparative to an air cooler?

 

Not really a good comparison dude

NH-D14

Or the EKL Alpenfohn K2

Those are the prettiest.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

I'd like to see Zalman freshen up their CNPS9900 Max cooler. The heatsink itself is beautiful, probably the sexiest around, but that fan needs to be quieter, the cables should be plain black, and I'd like to see white LED and no LED options. I also love how they fit so well with the blower fans on the newer Nvidia reference coolers.

Also, I'd like to recommend the Cryorig H5 to anybody looking for solid value and nice clean aesthetics.

(as a bonus, neither of these will cover up your RAM slots)
