Why spend $100 on an Air cooler? I've seen people spend +$80 and never understood why.

165mm with the fan. I have one.

How do you like it.

Awesome my case does up to 170 I think. So that 10 mm Gap should be fine

Massive cooling is needed for high overclocks, usually dual tower coolers around $100 are capable of cooling such systems adequately and are better alternatives to similarly priced AIOs. Similar or better thermal performance, quieter, won't have to worry about leakage.

I love it. For $100 I'd say it's worth it, the build quality and performance is superb.

Though not everyone is a fan of the color scheme, there are other alternatives available.

You should also consider phanteks PH-TC14PE... the thermal performance is almost if not the same as NH-D15 but they are a bit louder and cheaper? (don't have either but reviews says so)

PLEASE QUOTE OR TAG (WITH @) ME IF YOU REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT ME TO REPLY!!!!!!!

Also if your issue is solved don't forget to mark the thread as solved!
Peace!!! from a random person in the tech's god forsaken land (named Finland or as I like to call it sarcastically FUNland)
