Best CPU Cooler For Performance?

[WeavingBird1917]

Hi,
Choosing CPU coolers has probably been the hardest thing I've done so far. There had been a lot of benchmarks online, and each one is completely different (which makes it extremely confusing).

I have narrowed it down to a few coolers and I want the one with the best performance and reliability. If you know better ones please tell me. Please note that I am comparing it in terms of performance.

Coolers:
Corsair H100i, H105, H110
Cooler Master Nepton 280L
NZXT Kraken x60, 61
Antec Kuhler H20 920
Noctua NH-D14, NH-D15

I tried to compare them against each other but each benchmark/opinions have been different on every website. Sorry If it was a bit confusing.

Thanks,
Aaron 😀

For an i7 4790k, I'd recommend a Noctua NH D14 or 15 - if it'll fit in your case. Else go for a Corair H100i.

Ok, Thanks! I will check which one works better with my setup 😀
