NH-L9i vs cryorig c7

[Teemo4Life]

(I know this is in the wrong section but no one has replied to my thread and I have waited like half a day)

Both same price. Which one has better performance.

Is this case fan exhaust or intake or can be both?

[Moondrelor]

I'd say the Noctua.

I'd say the Noctua.

Reason? Can't be bias and can't be cause nocturnes well known it's automatically better

Noctua fans are beast. They have better airflow and better static pressure. I haven't looked at hard numbers but I can probably safely say that the Noctua is better.

Also Noctua fans can be pretty quiet if they aren't spinning too hard, but they can be pretty loud too. Given Noctua fan on that one I don't see it getting as loud as their industrial brand however.. I am a huge fan of Noctua, heh, get it?

 

But yeah, their fans are great when it comes to getting air through heatsinks, rads, or just used as an intake or exhaust. They are great fans with great static pressure and airflow.

I'd guess the Cryorig would be better just because it's look a bit thicker, I haven't got much to go on. I couldn't even find any reviews for it.

 

Edit: Infact, looking at the specs, the Noctua apparently has more mass, so maybe that might be better .

The Noctua has a 65W TDP while the Cryorig has a 100W TDP. Therefore, The Cryorig has way better performance than the Noctua. 

All TDPs are the 'official' pmes from Cryorigs and Noctua's websites.

The Cryrorig is better. The Noctua NH-L9i performs worse than a stock cooler in some cases.

Stig beat me to it, TDP is how effective it is at removing "Thermal Design Power" aka the heat put off by energy transfers. The higher TDP tolerance the better it is at cooling.

I hear ppl say lower tdp or higher tdp is better. So u can base a cpu cooler of it?

A coolers TDP is how effective it is at dissipating heat from the CPU so higher a coolers TDP is, the better it is at cooling, like @PumaXCS said. Where you might be confused is that a CPU/GPU's TDP is how much heat the chip gives off and most people prefer a lower TDP GPU/CPU as it means less heat produced and less power consumed.

TLDR: Just get the Cryorig C7 and take our word for it.

I can't fit two new CPU coolers

Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO CPU Cooler $28

Cryorig c7 $56

Cooler master hyper 103 $31

I can fit them with 1-3cm space left

Just wanted to update you guys.
I did a comparison. The cryorig works just abit better than the noctua. But not by much.
The noctua is much thinner. and runs alot quieter too under heavy load. 
Both still supports 4690k . even lightly overclocked @1.15v if you dont mind the fan running bit loud.
