Hey guys!

 

Im currently looking for a new cpu cooler for my fx 8350.

I currently have a zalman cnps5x and i noticed it has started to get pretty loud.

I Need a cooler that is quiet under 25db and borderline 30db and provides really good performance!

I am currently looking at the 

Noctua NH-U14S

and the

Noctua NH-U12S

 

i have been looking at noctua because they are known to be very quiet and also providing very good performance.
I also have a budget of £50

 

Thankyou!

the nh-u14s is a great choice :). if you're looking to spend a bit less and have the same performance, i would also go for the be quiet shadow rock slim.

Something cheap like a Hyper 212 Evo would also work.

I think that high end noctua air coolers are "cooler" than some low-end AIO (H60-H80 i think) and they don't have the issues of AIO's.

if you save just £10 more you can get the cryorig r1 ultimate and it will smoke any of them coolers mentioned above.

 

the noctua nh-d14 might be around £50 now aswell.
