CPU Cooling Advice

[D_Rosenqvist]

Hey!

 

Alright, so i got my new case yesterday (Corsair Carbide Air 540).

 

It's a beauty, and a lovely case to build in.

 

But i have a HUGE aesthetics issue!

 

Since this case has a full windowed side panel, i want it to look good, as well as being exceptionally quiet and performing well.

 

And here's my issue... I currently use a Noctua NH-D14, and i think it looks like crap together with the current color scheme that i have.

 

I've tried both the h100 and the h100i, and they are both very loud, especially the pump noise, but they look stunning, especially the h100i.

 

What would you guys recommend me looking in to? I'm really not feeling the huge air coolers anymore, and i'm afraid of trying custom liquid cooling.

 

 

Cheers!

Custom waterloop perhaps? Personally I really like the look of bulky CPU tower coolers.

Be Quiet! dark rock series maybe?

Move away from the H100i. Go for another 240mm AIO. It's the worst performing one out there. Not saying it's bad, but there's much better ones.

Xigmatek Dark Knight or some Be Quiet coolers
