geoxile Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 Have you considered the Corsair H50 or CoolIT ECO A.L.C. Both of them are isolated loop CPU Water coolers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenext8seconds Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 Have you considered the Corsair H50 or CoolIT ECO A.L.C. Both of them are isolated loop CPU Water coolers. yeah, I'm pretty sure that the NH-D14 cools better than the H50. I'd be kinda nervous about if I got an H50 and it started leaking one day which could ruin your motherboard and everything else. I've read about that happening in the newegg reviews. I know or I'm assuming you suggested those because they would be much quieter comparied to an air cooler, but Noctua and even their flagship NH-D14 is supposedly whisper quiet. Anyway, I just wanted to know if anyone could tell me if the Thermalright Venomous X was any better and as quiet as the NH-D14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 I have not looked at the venomous-X but would have to say that the NH-D14 would be the winner still against those two solutions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoxile Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 Corsair so far has very few leaks and apparently they've been gracious enough as to replace people's entire systems. You should check their forums. I don't know about CoolIT's service but it's 10 dollars cheaper with an extra 10 dollar rebate and I heard it's just as efficient, more so with aftermarket fans. http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=512&Itemid=62&limit=1&limitstart=3 I'd say the noctua just by looking at the specifications on the page and the design. It has a separate rack of radiator fins for each side of the pipes. I would imagine the surface area would allow the radiators to dissipate more heat overall. The fans are also rated quieter at 19dba vs. 24 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dihartnell Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 If you can fit it I would go with the Noctua D14. It is very quiet, I run my fans on full. Its large and there is only 44mm clearance underneath it so if you have tall heats[readers on your ram that can be an issue. I had to take toe top fins of my Corsair DOM GT ram.

Black64 Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 Noctua D14 definitely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkson Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Ditto on the Noctua cooler. Pretty darn good. ~Monk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
medbor Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 The noctua will be quiet, but so will the other one or even a Hyper212+ depending on whay you do. I have a friend running a core 2 quad on a good old TRUE passively, so most tower style heatsinks should be just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 D14 is too big , go for this : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835209049&cm_re=Antec_Kuhler-_-35-209-049-_-Product Its the Antec Kuhler 620 and performs very well and is actually cheaper than a D14 . With the money you save and add a little and buy some fan screws and 2nd fan for Push/Pull which I am sure will beat the D14 while saving space for good airflow .
