    Hello!

    I can't decide which cooler i should get for a i7-5820K...

    1. Corsair H110
    2. Noctua NH D-15 (Size could be a problem right=
    3. Noctua NH D-14

    I rly like the look of the Corsair. But what you guys think? Which Cooler is the best?

    I have the Corsair GT 110i. Great cooling, the pump is whisper quiet.
    The fans though...what a piece of **** they are...
    I've bought two Noctua Industrial PPC at 3000 RPM to replace the stock Corsair fans.
    Now the cooling is very silent, although 750 RPM faster fans are used.
    The stock were making noises, especially at mid/low speeds and I mean unbearable noises.
    Like a vampire scratching on a wooden coffin, trying to get out.
    Same goes for the Air540 case fans (3x140mm).
    I am waiting for 3x120mm and 1x140mm Spectre Pro LED to replace them and I will return every stock fan to the seller for warranty claims.
    Don't get me wrong - the Corsair cooler is fantastic, it's just the fans which are crappy.
    Noctua is proven manufacturer, arguably the best out there.
    If you will heavy OC, get the largest of them which you can fit in your case.
    If you go for air cooling, make sure you have sufficient airflow in the case.
    Same applies for water cooling, but to somewhat lesser extent.
