Quiet CPU cooling?

Hello, and thanks for reading this already!

 

I'm looking for a quiet, but of course good, cpu cooling.

It can be liquid or heatsink, but if heatsink preferably not a giant 20 cm thing, just a low profile one :-)

Any good suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance!

If I said I were 14, you would call me a kid. If I say 70, you’ll entitle me too old. If I say 20 you say I’m inexperienced and if I say 40 than I'm too boring.

Of course if you're on a budget, the Hyper 212 Evo/T4 is a great choice.

 

For low profile, this is a good one:

For liquid this is also a very good cooler, especially for the price

Of course theres many more, but those are what I would recommend! :)

budget?

Arround € 100 (115 $ // 76£) would be nice!

 

 

Will you be overclocking? What cpu?

I'll be using the Intel i5-4670K (Socket: LGA1150)

And i'm planning to eventually overclock, but not for a couple of months after purchase :)

 

 

Side question, is a double fan liquid cooler much better than a single fan liquid cooler?

for a hundred your beat bet is either a dark pro 3 or an nh d14

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

They vary with radiator thickness, fin density and fans. For quiet operation you should go with the biggest fans that you can.

With low-profile i mean not too big of size, and also quiet!

Thanks, I'll check them out!

That's a very good tip, I'll remember that! Thanks!

Sorry that I'm a little bit inspecific :P

I'm going to be using the Corsair Air 540, which has a limited CPU cooler height of 170mm

 

Also, my country of shipping is Belgium, but surrounding countries often ship here (amazon.de and amazon.fr for example)

170mm is enough for almost any air cooler. You could get a Shadow Rock 2: http://www.amazon.de/quiet-BK013-Shadow-CPU-K%C3%BChler-4-polig/dp/B00DQCOJUQ/ref=sr_1_19?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1421533442&sr=1-19&keywords=bequiet
