Anything better than the NH-D14

[01kensha01]

Is there anything better than the noctua for around a £100

 

[SnW]

Not in my opinion but i believe there is a user on here that thinks so,

but all our preference i guess...

if you have a 100quid to spend then just get the noctua

one word, no its as good as the silver arrow, but it doesnt have those stupid fan clips and a stupid mounting its the easiest cooler ive installed b4 buy a long long way

That's the cooler i am talking about just didn't want to mention it

And all it was copy paste

 

[cbiltsouris]

the silver arrow is only better by a couple of degrees

 

[thestepster]

yeah its like a swear word around here ha ha its about the same as the nhd-14 but its a lot more fuss and bigger = not ideal

 

[cbiltsouris]

the heatsink that should not be named...ehehehh

 

[tallun123]

simple answer NO!!!

Water cooling is the only step above the NH-D14 IMO

Water cooling is the only step above the NH-D14 IMO

And that's watercooling which would cost twice as much if not more.

not yet...but still waiting to see real world test review DATA on beQuiets' "Dark Rock Pro" against NH D14.

Real world = same equipment test bed, same number of fans on test bed and cooler, same volts and clocks until one out performs the other cooler...etc.

And that's watercooling which would cost twice as much if not more.

Hence why the NH-D14 is better..... Unless you have £100's to spend on watercooling

 

[thestepster]

yeah its not cheap going watercooling, im just about finished gathering parts to set my own loop up but cause of mates etc its in the end costing me about £20

and the bits aint cheap either

It depends what your trying to cool, any AMD cpu with your budget, I'd go water cooling, you'll easily pick up a block, pump and slim triple rad for £100, then you just need is barbs, tubing and a bottle of halfords de-ionised battery top up water.

If its a I7 then your really going to want a better radiator and good fans which is when it starts to get pricey, so the NH-D14 i suppose is the best bet for the I7's

As I have seen, ThermalTake Frio wins by a few degrees.

You could probably get a Rasa 120 kit for about £120 - might be worth a look at. H50 might also be viable if you can set it up right, and you'd save about £50 over the NH-14.

I wouldn't say the H50 is better than the D14, there is not enough tubing (=> liquid inside) to be able to cope with the heat for a long time. Oh and the Rasa 120 kit, it's alright but just a 120mm radiator is not going to cut for a high overclock, if you ask me. It is not going to able to reach the temperatures of the D14. Also take the quietness of the D14 into account, I mean the H50 fans are load so may want to seperate fans for it, and at that price point you could just get the D14.
