Best CPU Cooler from PC World

[person31]

Hi, I am looking for a new CPU cooler and I get £10.00 of PC World vouchers every month so I thought I would use them for an after market cooler. The choices are:

CM Hyper 212 Evo
CM V-Series V8
Corsair H55 AIO
Corsair H80i GT AIO
Corsair H100i GT AIO
Corsair H75 AIO
CM Hyper 103
CM Hyper 412S

I have been told that the Hyper 412S is the same as the Evo but quieter. I have an AMD 8350 that I don't intend to over-clock. thanks in advance for any replies.

Forgot to mention, my priorities are:
1) Cooling
2)Sound
3)Looks

Well Sound and Looks don't really mix well, because AIOs look the best but are louder. So which one do you care more for?

Thanks for the reply, sound is more important than looks for me.

I would choose none of those coolers then and get a high performance nocula cooler, they go for around 80$ to $105.

Then replace the fans with something cooler lookin. 😀

If sound is more important, then 'big air' is better. How much money is quietness worth, your thermal abatement needs are modest?
