Best heatsink?

[brownninja97]

What has the best looking heatsink. It must be part of a pc, like one you have at your house not some damn optimus prime rubbish.

Erm ya kinda hard answering a question that so subjective as to "whats a good looking heatsink" for instance I like the looks of Phanteks heatsink, Noctua NH-D14. But I dont like the CM V6 and V8.

At first I was like, Ok. Then I was like, wait what?

 

My recommendation is the same as the above post.

They're large so make sure they'll fit in your case.

Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 2 or the NH-D14. They perform within margin of error of each other.

+1 on that this is a really good looking heatsink. This heatsink is also pretty nice:  and this: http://www.gdm.or.jp/archive/pressrelease_image/1006/02_09j_i.html

You nailed it, sir. OP, you may disregard everyone else.

Yeah, I agree.

 

If your looking for the best CPU cooling performance and looks (with a reasonable price), than watercooling looks the best.

Funny, since pretty much everyone else recommended the same cooler. :|

I agree with the Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 2 votes.

 

Here's two pics of it in my system after I replaced the Noctua NH-D14..they are crappy pics, but it gives an impression of what it looks like:

What do you think about the akasa venom. Remember its about looks not performance.

Honestly I like the look of the CM hyper 212 Evo. Would love it even more if it was black like the Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 2.

I saw a dark red one of the hyper 412, quite close to the 212  but it looked awesome.
