Hey guys, I have a bit of a dilemma.
I have a windowed case of the Fractal Design R4 Titanium and I wanted to get a CPU cooler.
I having trouble deciding between the Corsair H80i and the Noctua NH-U14S.
The Corsair H80i looks really good and I think it'll go well with my case but the Noctua Cpu cooler outperforms the H80i by a mile.
Im not sure whether to get the Noctua and have excellent performance or take the H80i and get a great looking computer but have bad cooling performance
I'm also a silence freak and the Noctua is extremely silent while the h80i is much louder.




(In that video, it shows comparisons between the performance between the two)

I would go with the H80i because I hate air-coolers. The H80i is a pretty thing too. Just hope that you get a good unit without any problems. Make sure you return it ASAP if it's too loud or anything. Corsair is good with RMAs.
