Need help!!...ARCTIC Freezer 34 Esports Duo or Noctua U12S chromax black?

[RajTheGeek]

Hello there, 

I'm planning to buy a cpu air cooler for my system. Here's my specs:
Ryzen 3 3100
MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX
Corsair CX 550W
GTX 1060

I live in India so our ambient temps are pretty high especially in summer(45C+). Also my AMD stock cooler is starting to make soo much noise. Now I have gone through soo many coolers  and reviews. Based on what's availability I basically have these 2 coolers. 

ARCTIC Freezer 34 Esports Duo: https://www.arctic.de/en/Freezer-34-eSports-DUO/ACFRE00060A
Noctua NH U12S chromax black

I also have hyper 212 evo(version 1 old one), rgb black edition available here in my region but it seems these 2 comes out on top. I really want to buy freezer 34 as its cheaper, offers 10 years of warranty and cooling performance is great and also it has dual fans so I'll add the 2nd fan as the exhaust fan. freezer 34 costs $56 at the moment. And U12S chromax black around $90 in my region. The thing I worry about is noise level and installation process. I read somewhere that freezer 34 installation in AM4 socket is tricky. Also I'm planning to upgrade my CPU with 6 cores such as ryzen 5 5600 or other 6 cores cpu in the future. Please let me know your suggestions. 

Thanks.

U12S is the better cooler, but not really better enough to warrant almost double the cost in your case. The Duo is still a good cooler. I'm not sure about the ease or not of installation with it, as I've never owned one. Noctua's SecuFirm installation is second to none, though. Either should be capable of cooling something like the 5600 when or if you eventually upgrade.
