Noctua NH-D15 vs be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3

[MrN1ce9uy]

Which one for 7700K? I'm hoping for 5GHz. I know Noctua is better but the Dark Rock Pro 3 looks better. I've seen pics of the NH-D15 fitting inside the Phanteks P400, so I think it fits. If it doesn't I'll return it. Rig is in my signature.

*Also, could I swap the brown Noctua fans for the black or grey Noctua fans?

The NH-U14S, the Dark Rock 3, and the H5 Ultimate are enough for the 7700K.

My Cryorig H7 is enough. I want to max out the overclock though.

They will be enough for max overclocking. However, if you want to keep the temperatures as low as possible, you can go liquid.

From what others on here have said about their H5 and 7700K they can only do 4.7GHz without overheating.

The scythe Fuma I ordered was defective. I'm still trying to decide between the NH-D15 and dark Rock Pro 3.
