NOCUTA NH-D15 or CORSAIR H100 for I7 4790K 4.5GHZ +/-

[Alen Kirm]

Currently have H60. Can h60 handle i7 4790k at 4.5ghz?
If no, after a thread i made week ago im still wondering which cpu cooler should i get ...
I've meet few guys using NH-D15 and H100i both were satisfied ...
H100i: more nice looking system with hydro cooler, a bit cooler, h60 served me well for 3 years so H series are truly awesome. But i heard h100i is loud as jet engine
D15: quieter?, cheaper for 15€, its ugly and i have no experiences with air cooling yet.

need your help... i know im silly with this second thread but i'd love to make myself sure picking right cooler.

Hi and welcome to Tom's forum.

For space and good look, I would go with the H100i, the D15 is more cheaper and very good but also would give you a big "thing" in the middle of your case.

Thats a problem. H100i looks very nice. What should i get? H100i then?
Im lost as fu** right now. I dunno what to buy ...

The NH-D15 is a better cooler, but the difference compared with the H100i isn't really high. 1-2°C maybe.

I would go with the H100i if you budget is available for that.

I think we've got a winner. I'll get my hands on h100i no matters what happen. I'll make your answer as a solution. Thanks!
