Don't let me buy this Cooler. What are the other options for a really high performance cpu cooler w/ two high quality fans that are close to silent?
There aren't any.
>>53789112
The NH-C14.
Got this shit for one pc i build. They are not silent.
>>53789156
Not in the same class as the NH-D15 cooling-wise. It's simply the best air cooler there is. Pay the dolla dolla or get a Hyper 212 EVO.
>>53789176
Perhaps you have a shit motherboard that can't manage the fans properly. The Z97 board I had with my NH-U14S kept it completely silent under anything but Prime95-type loads. Using the same cooler with an older AM3 board now and it's audible even at idle, even with the LNA installed.
>>53789176
Fan speed can be controlled in the bios.
If you're not happy you can even use the low voltage adapter.
Saying a Noctua is not silent is like saying my car doesn't move because I don't step on the pedal.

noctua is a giant meme imo anon, they make good shit but thermalright, raijintek, cryorig, phanteks etc is just as good but not overpriced.
if you need a dual tower grab a raijintek tisis, but you'll probably be fine with a thermalright true spirit 140 rev a

Phanteks PH-TC14PE
Thermalright Silver Arrow
Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3
That's about it.
Cryorig H7 Op you wont regret it. Better than the 212
>>53791504
Shit, forgot the Cryorig R1 Ultimate and Raijintek Tisis.
>>53791518
Is it better than the nh-d14, though?
>>53792489
The D14 is ancient and deprecated. The D15 is superior in every way and comes with better fans.

nh-d14 with non shit fans
>>53793221
Its built to dethrone the D15 and by most accounts does just that.
Pic semi-related, i'm using this to cool an AMD housefires cpu.
>>53793191
get nh-d15 then
>>53793257
I'm using a PH-TC14PE, but there's plenty of awesome dual towers to choose from. It's like being a kid in a candy store!
>>53789112
Every one of these double fan/heatsink monsters are overpriced rip-offs that will flex the shit out of your motherboard.
The D15 fins are less spaced than on the D14 si it requier more static pressure.
If you want to run your fans at very low rpm, go D14 but its also true that the new A15 fans that come with the D15 are better

Custom loop (so you can include the mobo vrms so they don't roast) or high en air. AIO shitters don't understand airflow and wonder why their "superior" liquid cooling doesn't give monster overclocks because while the cpu core is frosty the mobo vrms are melting.

Anything bent out of shape can be bent back into shape.
You can't say the same when electricity and water mix on something that is very sensitive to current being only in certain places.

Go bend a paperclip out of shape then bend it back into shape then rethink your analogy.

Nice ebin may may friend XD
Sorry to hijack your thread OP, but what's a nice cheap fan that does its job? I don't give one fuck about the noise because I'm not a pansy and the place where I live is already loud as fuck.
>>53793778
Arctic f12 - they're actually not too bad.
>>53793778
Thermalright TY-143 if you can fit them. High RPM, lots of noise, fucktons of airflow.
Run them at 1300RPM or lower for very little noise and still decent amounts of airflow.

>>53793896
As I said, at full speed they're noisy as fuck but they shift tons of air.
Undervolt them and they become pretty quiet while still moving a decent amount.
>>53793593
Recommended to remove heat sinks that size before moving it around I heard. Also, Intel is using thinner pcb on CPUs. Some people buying skylake prebuilts had the processor get damaged in post by the heatsink.
Overall, mostly a none issue, I agree.
>>53793665
The 6600k doesn't even come with a cooler, does it?
