Please help me choose a good cooler! (air coolers)

[g3ck0212]

Okay, the pump in my Antec Kuhler AIO died who-knows-how-long ago and now I need a new cooler to replace it...

What cooler should I get? I'm looking at dual tower 140mm coolers capable of keeping an FX8320 OC'd at 4.0 ghz under 45 degrees celsius under load.

My choices so far are:

Raijintek Tisis - $69.99 w/ free shipping from Newegg

Phanteks PH-TC14PE - $79.99 w/ free shipping from Newegg

Any other choices other than Hyper 212 or V8 GTS or Noctua NH-D14? Trying to keep it pretty cheap

Thanks in advance!

Quick Edit: Case is a Thermaltake Armor A60 AMD Edition, so the cooler needs to be under 180mm tall

Phanteks one seems like that one I would pick out of those two options but have you considered water cooling?

Yes, I have... I just want something that can't really fail. Its kind of hard for a piece of copper to fail vs an electric pump.

True, my watercooler isn't being used because of stupidty...I would recommend the Phantek one!

Already ordered one... ordered the Dark Rock Pro 3 because it was cheaper, looks better, and performs around the same as a Noctua NH-D14
