My FX 9370 is running stock at 1.5375v (4.7ghz). Anything lower and it isn't stable (even if I reduce frequency). Anyways, my H80i is loud, and fails to keep the processor under 60 degrees when playing BF4. Running P95/IBT or any other cpu benchmark makes the processor throttle, but I believe that is my NB's fault. Anyways, I do believe i'm done with closed loop coolers (unless there's actually one that can beat the noise/performance ratio of a high end air cooler). I was planning on getting an NH-D14 or NH-D15 (I have Kingston Blu so ram clearance should be fine) but now I see the Raijintek Tisis, which is considerably cheaper and is also a dual tower. However I can't find many reviews of this cooler and the company isn't that well known. But now I found the NH-U14s and apparently it's performance matches the NH-D14. My case is a Cooler Master HAF XB EVO and my mobo is a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3.
TL;DR: Need an upgrade from my H80i to a more silent and better performing cooler.
