I like everything except the cooler, get Noctua NH-D14/15 or NH-U14S

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

TC14PE can compete with D15 easily, D14 and U14S iirc performs worse

But the Phanteks one is using single fan....

I have a Bose QC 35 headset which has amazing noise cancellation. I would only use this system with this headset on so fan noise isn't a concern to me.

Ok then amazing! I always wanted a Bose since I know how good they are on car audio but i am going in kingston too. Maybe taking one each brand is the best option
