I'm quite a Phantek fan, because they're the only one company to take on Noctua, which has the greatest coolers. I love Noctua too, so it was a hard decision

Another rigged category. Several of the ND-H14s main competitors are conspicuously absent.

Although I might be considered as noctua fanboy: Phanteks got my vote. Impressive job there. I expect great products from them after this start.

Definitely Hyper 212+.
If I were to spend any more I would just go for a closed loop water cooler or water cooling kit.

Hyper 212 keeps my 960 under 30C during load and under 20 during idle. Why pay more for that kinda performance?
