NZXT Kraken X61 for water

Noctua NH-D15 for big air

Cryorig H5 Ultimate for big air performance at a midrange price (can't match the NH-D15, though)

Deepcool Gammaxx 400 for value builds (cheaper than 212 and H7 and better than both)

Bong for extreme overclocks and good times

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

Noctua d15 is my favorite overall, as it has the best performance/noise ratio. It is pretty ugly though :/

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Why is H7 better than the 212 evo ?

The H7 is a bit quieter, shorter, and has better mounting hardware. 

 

Out of the list, the Maelstrom 240 performs the best, the Dark Rock Pro 3 is the quietest, and my favorite looking heatsink is the ETS-T40-B.
