• corsair h70 vs noctua nh-d14?
    1 replies, posted
i am going to upgrade my mobo/cpu/ram, the cpu will be a i5 2500k, that i will overclock. now i have been searching forums and reviews between this 2 coolers and i cant make a clear conclusion about them, basicly everyone agrees with this: h70, if your case doesnt have enough space for the d14. but on some things people diverge, some people defend that the d14 is more silent, others say h70 will maintain the temps lower. i live in brazil, summer is hot here, so i d14 might get a disvantage on temps here. i usualy dont care too much about loud fans since i usualy play with headphones and when i am not playing there is TV on, but i dont want my pc sounds like a jet.
NH-D14 is better, hands-down. There's really no argument. The D14 is also theoretically quieter, since one of its fans is larger, but really there's likely no or little difference in sound level. The advantage of an h70 is it looks nicer in some cases, really, and is more out of the way.
