The title is pretty self-explanatory. My question is, which do you guys think is better? What are the pros/cons of each one, and which one will over-all give better cooling performance? Please give me an unbias answer, just because you may have never heard of/used one or the other, please don't say it's bad just because of that. With that being said, if you have experience with either one, please do feel free to let me know how your experience was with it.

 

NOTE: Since this is planning for my first ever build, I am not experienced much at all with water cooling. If you know of a simple, risk-free water cooler that costs about the same and performs better, feel fee to let me know.

The PH-TC14S is smaller. The NH-D15 performs better and is quieter. 

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

I vote for the Noctua. Also, seek out the new Noctua NH-D15S. It has better compatibility. Only one fan included though, but the performance is pretty much the same as the NH-D15 with two fans.
