Arctic 34 duo vs Silentium Fortis 3

[Captain_Norway]

Which one is better?

Arctic Freezer 34 esports duo or Silentium Fortis 3?

Arctic Freezer 34 duo is more expensive than the Fortis 3, by 6 dollars.

 

Which one is quieter and have good performance?

 

My use case is for a ryzen 5 3600.

 

Many Thanks!

I'd get the Arctic, but I'm in different situation&country. What case&RAMS are you using btw?

 

Here, the Freezer34 Duo is cheaper.

You get two very good quality fans, you can even use one of those as case fan.

Has black pipes, looks better.

Easier to sell later.

And I have a red-black H200 Case, where the red framed fans harmonize well with the interieur.

 

For performance, you can't make a bad choice. Pick what you'd like best.

I am going to buy the NZXT h500 and the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB 3600mhz

 

somehow the rgb version is cheaper here

The things is that most people don't constantly see your computer, if you know what i mean. For me atleast aesthetic just a plus.

it's mostly with the front panel, it's quite restrictive in my opinion

 

something with mesh like the nr600, mb511, (cooler master) h500, meshify c or phanteks enthoo are in my opinion better choices

The Fortis 3 is quieter and the Freezer 34 eSports Duo seems to perform a bit better.

I'd go with the Fortis 3 since I don't mind sacrificing a bit of performance for lower noise but either are hard to go wrong with.
