$65 - Phanteks PH-TC14PE * .... 7 - 10 C cooler than $30 option

$90 - Noctua DH-15 ... 1 - 2 C cooler than $65 option

$140 - Swiftech H220-X / H240-X ** .... 5C cooler than $90 option

* Comes in various colors to match case / componnets
** Not a CLC, collection of preassebled custom water loop componnets
