8350 h100i or better for cooling?

[Cyber Zak]

Hey, I'm looking to get a new cooler for my 8350. Something that is not too noisy and does the job. From what I have seen the H100i is the go to cooler for the 8350 but then again these reviews are 2 years old, anything better I should go for?

My PC:

CPU = AMD FX 8350
GPU = MSI Twin Frozr R9 290
PSU = Antec TP-650 (650W)
MOBO = SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0
RAM = 2 x 4gb Corsair Vengance DDR3
OS = Windows 8.1
Case = Zalman Zll plus

If your not overclocking, just get the CoolerMaster 212 EVO. If you are overclocking, then get the h100i, it is a great cooler.

Iv got a H100i on my 8350 and it works absolutely amazing! It keeps things down below 40C at 100% at a whisper noise level and with the Corsair Links software it is just a great cooler in general in my opinion. I would say it is worth the money and if you're into overclocking you'll be able to get this thing pretty damn fast while being cooled by this!!!! I mean there are probably coolers that are similar but I know how good this one is and it's great!

Looks great but is it as quiet as the H100i?

Phanteks PH-TC14PE is cheaper than the 100i and performs quite well noise/cooling wise.
