Noctua NH-D15 VS Corsair H50 VS H100i VS H105

which one do you guys recommed noise level and performance
I heard the noctua is very quiet but he corsair fans can get loud

If it will fit in your case, I would recommend the Noctua. Remember that the water cooler only moves the radiator heat sink. So you have the fan noise plus the pump noise to consider.

im debating on the Noctua NH-D15 or Corsair H105 I dont do much intense gaming
mainly for photo video production

The case supports 180mm CPU coolers. So, both the NH-D14 & D15 are supported by your case. I would recommend the Noctua CPU cooler over the water cooler.

The reasons for the Noctua cooler are the extended life of the air cooler, the lower noise, and no possibility of a leak on your system.

The Noctua is great and simple

But it is large and clunky

I feel like it really takes away from the aesthetics of my build as I cant see 90% of my mobo since its covered by the dang cooler

Also I dont like how when I bump the radiator when plugging in a sata cable or something I cant help think where/how that torque is translating to the cpu/mobo

to me in hindsight I would go with the h100 but the noctua is great, just gigantic

I have the case you are getting and the Noctua D15, it's a very good combo and the cooler itself can't really be heard much at all.
