Corsair H80 Vs Noctua NH-C14

NH-C14:
http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX34316

I like the H80 because I can use the Corsair Vengeance RAM but then I don't get the airflow around the CPU socket.
But with the C14, I would put a large strain on the motherboard and I don't like that and I could use LP (Low Profile) Ram.
I am willing to go with the H100 for only $10 more but will decide that in the future because of case issues.
From reviews, even the H70 beats the C14 which is funny.
I do not want any Antec crap or D14 crap.
I would like you opinions on this and which one I should buy.

H80. It was 10°C better than the Noctua NH-C14 here...unless of course you find your case allows the H100. Good luck.

The C-14 probably cools better, but it would probably be a minimal increase/decrease (probably around 1-3C), but I would get the H-80 because it looks sick and Noctua looks so ugly lolz wink.gif .
Did you Google your question?

H80
It looks so godly and you won't find anyone complaining about it(unless they expect WAAYY too much from a closed loop unit).
It does what it proclaims to do in such a great way, you won't be disappointed.

Probably because you should have posted this in the air cooling section. I think that most people coming to this section are more interested in reading about real water cooling loops. I don't see why those sealed units don't belong in the air cooling section. Thats what they're competing with hence threads like this.
