noctua c14 vs noctua u14s vs u9s

[iori77]

hi everyone
i have the i7 6700 cpu (non K) gaming pc
would you recommend changing the intel stock fan if i use the pc for gaming
my country is hot in summer

i have two options infront of me
noctua c14 used for 45 $
noctua u14s new for 60 $
noctua u9s new for 38$

what would you choose
the evo 212 would cost around 35 $

i really like the quietness of noctua

IF you are not overclocking... honestly man any of those tower coolers are going to be very quiet. I own a U9s... I love it. Currently not in use, but its a great little heat sink. 38 is not a bad price, considering they are 60 new... so long as its the updated version! Make sure it is if its coming used...

Any of those fans will be quiet for you.... they will probably remain quiet with a light overclock... if you want the head room to overclock in the future, don't get the u9s... its not quite beefy enough... but if you just want silence, I highly highly recommend it!
