Need help with cpu cooler.

Go to solution Solved by WoodenMarker,

Budget - the cheaper the better .... +- 120

Could you give both water and air?

Some build details:

CASE: NZTX S340.

GPU: KFA2 GTX 970 EXOC Black

PSU: 750W

MOBO: msi z97s sli krait edition

If you're just going for looks, there isn't much that compares to an ETS-T40-BK with AF120 QE's with the white ring.

Dark rock looks nice...from the side, top looks like a ugly metal box(more interested in esthetic then performance) problem is with this cooler i cant use different fans, and mounting it is realy hard.... i have quite high profile ram.

I'd say the best option is something made by Be Quiet!, or possibly the black version of the Phanteks PH-TC12DX, as the white-framed fans on that should fit the Krait colour scheme quite well.

In that case I'd go for a Be Quiet! cooler.
