What CPU cooler should i use?

[0nly222]

I was thinkin of either getting the corsair h80i GT liquid cooler or the noctua nh d14. What do you prefer?

Well if I had the space in my case and my motherboard would accommodate it without getting in the way of my RAM I would probably go with the nh-d14 (or the d15 which is the newer version of the d14) if not I might go with the H80i or similar.

I'm one of the few people here in the forums that absolutely hates the new closed loop water coolers and would not recommend them to anyone do to there overall high pump failure rate with in 2 to 3 years of use. A custom water loop the same thing does happen but the pump can be replaced, but there expensive and not for the faint of heart. With the lower TDP's on Intel's new processors there is really know need to go water cooling anyhow or with the older generation Intel's and AMD's unless your overclocking by more than 20%. Just stay with a good air cooler. SR-71 Blackbird has the right answer ( Cryorig R1 Universal.) is a great one. That would be my first choice followed by the Cryorig R5 and than the Noctua nh d14.
