Title says it all what do you guys think the best air cpu cooler is in terms of raw performance not in color or price to performance.

Noctua NH-D15 and Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E/IB-e are on par, they produce pretty much exact same results in many cases, some give 1 degrees advantage to either but that's negligible.

 

Between these two, the only factor I would consider is whichever fits the view of my case better, so the looks.
