NH-D14 For my I7 6700K

[svrhub]

How good will my octua NH-D14 with dual fans be? i have the worst coolermaster (cheap $25, so cheap it doesnt screw on just click into holes) with one fan and im rolling 60-80 on my I5-5600 (65W)

Im hoping to stay in 50-70 range on the new I7-6700K with the DH-14.

 

I know i could get a 7700k with my chipset but i don't overclock and don't care about the tiny CPU increase im going to be GPU bound anyway

My I5 is going to be another server

... probably, but in this case I'd recommend another cooler. NH-D14 costs a ton in CPU coolers terms.

 

Buy Gelid Phantom (Black) and that will do the job. Costing only 1/3 probably

A D14 is pretty overkill for that CPU

Don't bother buying a huge cooler. A U12S would do.

 

Also don't get an i7-6700K if you can get a Ryzen CPU for cheaper. You can often get a CPU, ram, and motherboard for the cost of the 6700K used.

Costs as in price or power consumption? NGL linus got me with the subliminal Noctua advertisngs, and i would kill for a LTT fans

You'll like Gelid Phantom more /subliminal marketing

Yeah i coulda rebuilt my rig for a Ryzen for $50 more, but i was gifted this I5-6400 for free and have been gaming on it so i didnt want to get a new mobo and the processor will go back into its stock case and become my 6th server

And it seems to be pretty forward compatible so its my 2 year down the line upgrade cooler.

The D14 is legendary for a reason. If you are getting it used its still worth it.. It should let you exploit that 6700K.

Brand new sitting here for a week, my hope was it will work great for my 6700k and future ryzen rig down the line

Your decision but it is pretty easy. I did it with a vice. I was even so skilled to drop the cpu onto the concrete floor and a bit of gold plating came off.  It still works flawlessly

btw in some benchkarks CNPS20X preceedes NH-D14

In some Deepcool Assassin III does, and in some, even Fuma 2 is better.

AIOs are better than Noctua.
