I plan on getting a i7 10700k (i was thinking about leaving it at stock speeds for the moment) and i have to make a decision between:

  1. Nzxt Kraken M22 120mm Liquid Cooler
  2. Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 (EDIT: thought it was the pro version but it isn't)

I've done my research and i can't come up with a good answer.

I am aware that results between the two coolers can change for multiple reasons but i still can't wrap my head around which cooler i want to buy.

 

Sidenote: forgot to mention the case, it's a : Be Quiet! Pure Base 500 (with the stock fans)

 

Thanks in advance for the help!
