So guys I am quite torn,

 

I am doing the final rundown of my new build (ryzen based) 

the only issue I am left over with is the CPU cooler, since silence at cool performance is of utmost importance. So looking at my local prices these are my options:

Be quiet dark rock 3 €62
be quiet dark rock 3 pro €75.95

noctua NH-U14S €56
noctua NH-D14 €65.95

initially I had selected the dark rock 3 since it would allow me the base overclock (ryzen 1700 to around 3.8) was relatively silent and not excessively big. 
The issue is that on amd platforms the be quiet cooler is mounted in such a way that it will blow to the top of my case, does this matter?

Secondly the reason why i didn't select the bigger coolers is because such a weight on the Mobo would put quite some strain on the mobo.

 

any opinions with argumentation?

 

your help is most welcome
