Well Phanteks or Noctua then? :P

Noctua is better but it kind of ruins the point if you're going to replace their fans. 

Hey, checking out the NZXT Havik 140 - http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_23&products_id=18073 

 

 

Any good?

 

Thats my only question. Any other good ones let me know.

 

Thanks

Personally, I would pony up and spend a few more bucks and get myself a nice Noctua. But then again, if you don't like "poop brown and vomit tan", that CPU cooler has really nice looks. Also, that product is discontinued.

Yes, it performs similarly to the NH-D14 in many cases.

 

This belongs in the Air Cooling section. I'm moving the thread.
Please post in the correct sub-forum in the future.

Could I get a Noctua Heatsink and buy some different Blue or white fans?

Yo whats up.

Sure, or live with it for now and get some of their new industrial black (or grey) fans when they come out.

 

The NZXT cooler will still perform very well, but as I said, it's discontinued, and Noctua comes with a 6 year warranty if you ever have problems.

You could but you might as well grab a Phanteks cooler at that point.
