It's within ~3 Celsius of the Noctua NH-D15. It's a good choice, and looks a lot better than the Noctua.

It's one of the best air coolers. It's similar in performance to an NH-D15 which I was able to get my 4690K to 4.5GHz with. It's a bit louder however.

and with that you get a louder cooler for the same performance and a higher price tag. not worth it.

I think a 240mm water cooler would be better than a 140 mm air cooler

It's not.

Its actually more like 240mm rad vs 2x140mm sized towers. And AIO will be louder because it has pump making noise instead of just fans. D14/15 with all three fans is better than H100 with two default fans.
