Best Air Cooling Solution

[MuZeVII]

NH-D14 is hands down the king of air coolers.

The D14 beats all of the single 120mm rad watercooling solutions out there.

The little puny H80i is really no match for the NH-D14.

the Phanteks PH-tc14pe performs very well and will not hinder your CPU OCing (although might be 3-6 degres hotter than the DH-14). i love the looks of this cooler, and by the time this cooler starts to lag behind the DH-14 and the silver arrow, you are running at a voltage that is degrading your CPU anyways. this cooler is a great choice. If not this one, then i would grab the silver arrow SB-E as it looks VERY nice as well (if you replace the included fans). I would not personally bey the DH-14 as i hate the look of this cooler is just terrible and when i drop $80+ on a cpu cooler, it should looks pleasing and big or have tubes and water.

I have a Corsair A70 and it does the job and i got it when it was on sale. Hoping to get a NH-D14 though when it is on sale and i actually have the cash

And what cooler is that Crowcore that can get close to -3C?

There are a number of "great" air coolers .

Noctua NHD-14

NZXT Havik 140ml

Phanteks PH-TC14PE

Thermalright silver arrow

All of those are beautiful things.

@killerx525 He meant there is a 3°C difference between the NH-D14 and other more expensive coolers.

[TechFan@ic]

The Cooler Master Hyper 212 or Hyper 212 Evo is a very good value as well.

Ah, i interpreted it differently :)

Or try to go with some German engeneering like Be Quiet! Dark Rock pro 2

Haha no offense to your selection but my preference is the Noctua NH-D14 even though it is ginormous.

Good choice. I also would say Noctua NH-D14.

[Mrinsane]

+1 Noctua NH-D14. High end air cooling can be even better than single rad water cooling. ( kits )

Guys, im buying a CPU cooler but i have a tight budget.

What would you recommend performancewise: NOCTUA NH-U12P SE2 Aircooling OR ANTEC KÃœHLER H2O 620 Watercooler.

To my surprise, the watercooler is cheaper than the noctua one.

So wich one guys?

[killerx525]

@Azxix, the Noctua should just have a slight edge over the 620.
