Hey there OC3D members, please pardon me if my English isn't very good and if this question dosen't belong here
I'm currently seeking on a new cooler for an i5 2500k and can't really seem to make a stern decission.
I've read and seen the reviews by TTL (big fan alright
) and they really came close with each other.
The price of the H100 is a concern for me since if I get the NH-D14, I can easily swap the fans with better onces (not to say that Noctua fans are terrible, they're supperb) such as the Xigmatek XAF series and Cougar's Vortex series. On the other hand, if I get the NH-D14, RAM would be an issue (Corsair Vengeance 1866 Cl9) Then again, if I get the NH-D14, I can use the spare money to get a RipjawsX. The quiteness of the NH-D14 is surely a plus, but I could also get some diffrent 120mm and get a push-pull config on the H100 (of course at some great expense).
To make it simple, I'm a bit concern on these products on certain aspects:
NH-D14:
Size (Enorrrrmous!)
Weight?
Clearence
H100:
Price
Noise
Fans
I'm going to use a CM HAF X and I've seen videos that some were able to fit a H100 on top without sacrificing the 200mm fans (even if H100 with 4 fans push-pull)
I really can't make up my mind!
Please shed some light on me by saying what you'd pick and why.
Thanks alot!
