Go to solution Solved by ANDuff,

As you are not overclocking both would be perfectly sufficient. More than sufficient actually. And also it will not get as hot as an overclocked CPU so neither will need to run at full speed frequently at all which is where all the noise would come from. 

 

So really it comes down to which ever you like more. So in your case the beQuiet! one.

So i'm looking to get air cooling because i don't overclock my CPU (FX8350). I'm thinking of either getting the Be Quiet! Dark Pro 3 or get the Noctua NH-15. 

As far as looks goes, I'd choose the Be Quiet, but i'm more worried about both noise and performance.

Any thoughts?

 

Also, I'm planning on using a bunch of BitFenix Spectre Pro fans, but wondering if im better off ysubg Be Quiet! fans instead (all 140mm, inside of the NZXT Switch 810).

Sssshhhhhh *in a soft voice* Noctua

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

According to this website: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Noctua/NH-D15/6.html%C2'> perform within margin of error with each other, so go with the one that looks better, they'll both be close to silent

I'm running an 8350 and a Dark Rock Pro 3, I absolutely love it, it's so quiet and cool. I'm OC'd to 4.7 and I idle at about 33

How freaking massive does that thing seem in your case though?
