Is Corsair h100i better than Noctua?

Is Corsair h100i better than Noctua?

They are both great cooler and close to equal in price to performance, In my opinion go h100i it cost a bit more but also performs a better. That said the Noctua will last longer as it’s just a chunk of metal there’s nothing really that can were out, break or leak.

Will the Noctua NH-D15 fit in my case?

Retired Moderator. It’ll be tight, but technically will fit, yes. HOWEVER that assumes you don’t need to raise the front fan to clear your RAM – which is a possibility in some instances. I have LPX and I still had to raise the front fan by a tiny bit – to the point it’s slightly above the height of the tower.

Is there anything better than Noctua NH-D15?

The Thermaltake Water 3.0 Extreme S is also an excellent cooler that is just 2 Celsius warmer than the Kraken X61 but it’s about 12 dBA louder than the NH-D15. If you want a cooler that is whisper quiet when it’s working while still delivering great cooling performance, the Noctua NH-D15 is the one for you.

What is the best Noctua CPU cooler?

Noctua NH-D15
The best air cooler is the Noctua NH-D15. This Noctua CPU cooler is a hefty thing, consisting of two 140mm fans and two heatsinks with compatibility for both AMD and Intel sockets.

Is the Noctua nh-d15 a good fan?

The NH-D15 holds it’s own against 280mm rads like the x61 and even the 280l, BUT if you have high heatsink ram – there’s compatability issues with the D15, but the D15 doesn’t have a pump, so it won’t fail in 2-3 years and most Noctua fans have a lifespan upward of 6/8 years. I say get the D15, amazing performance, silent, runs crisp and cool.

Which is better Noctua nh-d15 or swiftech h220x?

The only decent clc with noise to cooling ratio is the recent coolermaster 240, but still get’s beaten by the nh-d15 on temps and noise. Unless you can find a swiftech h220x/240x (very hard to find in stock) always go with a big air cooler. Sign up for a new account in our community.

Which is better Noctua nh-d15 or kraken X61?

The Thermaltake Water 3.0 Extreme S is also an excellent cooler that is just 2 Celsius warmer than the Kraken X61 but it’s about 12 dBA louder than the NH-D15. You can always replace the stock fans with two Noctua 120mm fans since the stock fans get rather loud at max settings.

Which is better nh-d15 or h100i?

Performance is better with NH-D15, if you get Noctua fans and slap them on H100i then the performance is similar (still lesser) but it will dramaticaly increase the price of cooler. NH-D15 = H100i in terms of case/components compatibility (H100i slightly wins this one)
