So! It is time to choose and I'm letting my favorite community choose what cools my i5 3570k. Ill tally the votes tomorrow!

 

 

SO!! It is between the NZXT x61 280mm AiO cooler

OR

The Phanteks/Noctua TC14PE/DH15 tower coolers! 

 

My goal is for OCing moderately (4.5Ghz) and silence! Thats all you get.

I love my Kraken X61.

 

It is many things.

 

Some things it is not.

 

Like silent.

 

It is not silent.

 

Go Noctua, young man.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

I really llike my X61. In this Toms Hardware comparison, the X61 ran 8*c cooler than the NH-D15 and the Noctua required trimming the RAM heat spreaders.
