Best looking Air cooler.

Hey everyone!

So as much as I love air cooling and it's silence, I just HATE that big silver thing bulging out of my cpu socket. I wanted to go with an AIO, but I see so many reviews about how loud the pumps are. I'm a silence freak. Anything but the whur of air annoys me. I was looking for good looking coolers, and everyone suggests the dark rock 2. It isnt available here. Plus, the dark rock 3 is nearly 150 dollars. Not going to happen.

What are some great looking cpu coolers that will fit with my G.Slill Ripjaws X on my Asus Maximus Hero?

My color scheme is black and blue, so if prefer a black cooler over anything.

Thank you.

I'll see if I can find one. Hopefully I can find something readily available.

So you want a good looking black, air cooler that can go toe to toe with an AIO but you're not willing to pay for it?

 

Dark Rock Pro 3 or Phanteks TC14PE (Black) are you're only options imo. A Deepcool Lucifer heatsink with better fans is a far third.

I would totally go AIO, but some people say it's loud. I was looking at either the h100i or the X61. D:

 

 

Edit: I'd just like to keep it below 100$. I don't want to cheap out on it!

Yes, they are. Definitely, louder than any good air cooler out there.

 

Wait, you live in the US (Wisconsin)? Because the Dark Rock Pro 3 = $90 and the TC14PE (Black) = $70 in the US.

From where? I can't seem to find that price anywhere.

Ahh, the price on newegg is nice. Amazon I still can't find for less than 110 dollars. Thank you for telling me that though!
