Corsair H80 Vs Noctua NH-C14 - Page 2

Depending on how you have your case setup you can have plenty of airflow around the CPU area, they recommend that the H80 is an intake. Also depending on if you have top mounted exhaust fans you'll get decent flow.

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.

How is the D14 crap?

Its not crap, its one of the best aircoolers out there, but it is big, inconvenient when working around inside the PC and this behemoth stands in your way and it is scertainly not pretty. Not everybody cares about the estetics of their PC though, not everybody likes to mess around inside their PC regularly and not everybody likes the thought of putting water in or near their PC so it is still a clear choise for some.

I wouldn't say D14 is crap by any means, but aesthetically it's a turd and heavier than a brick + certain ram won't work with it.

Just saying I don't want it because people would usually recommend it in other forums.
