Cursecut3r Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Ok guys, so I'm tired of the stock AMD cooler... It's SO NOISY!! I have a CM storm sniper and I deliberately turn up the fan speeds to max to not hear the high pitched stock cooler > So as you may have guessed, I'm not a fan of noise. Therefore I can't decide between the noctua, the thermaltake, the zalman and the scyhe plz help!!! (Sorry for english) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Sorry for english) The NH-D14 is the most silent of the lot and is a beast of a air cooler.thermaltake frio is a great cooler for much cheaper but is bit more noisy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore I can't decide between the noctua, the thermaltake, the zalman and the scyhe plz help!!! (Sorry for english) The Frio is a great cooler but you need to dial in the fan speed. The fan spped controls are knobs in the case. Crank the fans to high and then dial back to find the noise level you can live with. I would also consider an enclosed cooling system like an H50 or 620. These cool really well, are near the same price point and are very quiet, especially since they actually remove a fan from the cooling system.

Drdeath Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) The D-14 remains the premier air cooler and pwns the Frio. Another one to take a look at is the Prolimatech Genesis that cools you memory. The Ziggy Darknight is another to look at. Edited July 31, 2011 by Drdeath Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 For least amount of noise I would look to the Noctua or any of the other 120mm heatsinks that noctua offers. Sorry to deviate a little from the selection above but If you want a cheaper solution The egg has the Coolermaster Hyper 212 plus for 30 dollars. Great deal to say the least and it is a great cooler to boot. Not the quietest BUT its silent compared to a stock HSF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 If it's only an AMD chip then the Coolermaster 212+ shall be plenty! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandoPatriot Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 The Zalman was the most quiet CPU cooler I have ever used. And, at an overclock of 4.0ghz on my PhenomII 955, it would not go past 27* at idle, and 38* at load. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexRain Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 The noise level on the the 212+ is totally dependent on what fans you strap to it, my buddies got a pair of Ultra Kaze's on his to cool his 3.2GHz Q6600 and it's pretty loud, the fan it comes with isn't too bad though. If money isn't really an option go for the NH-D14 though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
suedenim Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 D14 - its monstrous in performance, price and size. Seriously its big, better check it will fit before buying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demo3 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 I can not hear my Noctua D14 run.... at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imm0rt41 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 If it's only an AMD chip then the Coolermaster 212+ shall be plenty! This. Save yourself some money over the Noctua. I have a 92mm Xigmatek and it keeps my OCed 1055T under 30C. The 212+ should keep any OCed AMD processor nice and cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
