Posted May 5, 2015 I can't really compare other coolers to the NH-D14 simply because it's the only custom air cooler I've owned, but it's very impressive. I have my FX-6300 clocked at 5.02 GHz and get 50 degrees Celsius under max load. That's with the fans running at half the speed...

Posted May 5, 2015 I did a bit more research and it looks like the Kraken X61 would be the best bet for a higher budget. It doesn't necessarily crush the NH-D15, but it does cool it a bit more by degrees or so. The NHD-15 is much quieter than the Kraken, though.

Posted May 5, 2015 Not that much actually with good fans the pump is pretty damn quiet ... atleast i cant hear it Really? I guess if budget isn't an issue then I'd just go with some low RPM Noctua fans and slap them on the Kraken.

Posted May 5, 2015 Really? I guess if budget isn't an issue then I'd just go with some low RPM Noctua fans and slap them on the Kraken. I wish i still had the budget for some really good quality noctua fans The Y.E.T.I. is in progress?Whaaat?

Posted May 5, 2015 does Hyper 212 and 212X have much differences? The 212X has better fans and considerably better performance than the Evo.

Posted May 5, 2015 If you're not looking at high overclocks, the noctua NH-U12S could be a very good option. It's a bit pricey, but noctua mounting hardware and support are very good, it come with a noctua NF-F12 fan on it and should have no motherboard compatibility issues.

Posted May 5, 2015 In the UK the NHU12s actually costs the same as the NHU14s, which is considerably better at cooling. It depends on your budget and what size cooler your case supports. No budget or size restrictions then definitely go for the NHD15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 6, 2015 Case? RAM? Budget? Are you aiming for performance, high OCs and looks or less noise, bit less performance and bit to bad looks? Low budget option -> 212 Evo Mid budget option -> Dark Rock 2/3 Mid-High budget option -> U14S, H60/80 High budget options -> D14, D15, PH-TC14PE, H100i etc. Really high budget option -> Custom loop. ^^^^ That's my post ^^^^ <-- This is me --- That's your scrollbar --> vvvv Who's there? vvvv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
