Does that h70 make more noise than the stock cooler? My stock cooler is annoyingly loud.

Depends completely on what fans you use.

With the right fans, it will keep your CPU cooler, while also being quieter. But you can get some 3k-5k RPM fans, and it will be nice and cool, but will be louder than hell.

I like my system to run at full load, at 70c, with fans running at about 1600-1800 RPM.

I was thinking in terms of the stock fans, wouldn't really want to pay more for other fans.

I would. The difference they make in terms of static pressure and noise makes buying proper fans well worth the investment.

My prime95 load temps with my Noctua NF-P12s never get above 60c.

With stock case fans my Prime95 temps hit 66C (I7-950@3.7GHz, Venomous-X w/single Noiseblocker M12-P PWM fan). My guess is that the stock fan setup only adjusts up or down about 200 rpm. Maybe something like 600 to 800 rpm?

Could probably achieve lower temp if I didn't have the PC in a computer cabinet. I do have a second Noiseblocker fan I could add to the cooler if I feel the need.

I also have a weather device sitting in front of the PC that gives me the ambient temp at that location. While that doesn't get too high, above and to the rear of the case it's pretty warm.

really depends, if you are running it at full speed it's fairly loud, I have both fans hooked up to the controller on case.

I originally had nh-d14 but i wanted something that's less bulky. For cooling efficiency I miss d14 but for space wise I don't.

I think it's one of the wider cases around. Wider than Corsair's full towers, and only .7 inch less deep. It is shorter though, by 4 inches.

I was initially going to get a Corsair 700D/800D until I got a tape measure out to measure my computer cabinet. Full tower just won't work, but I think the 600T has more room than I'll ever need.

My computer cabinet is designed to have the PC in the lower section, and that's where I had my old Dell, but even the mid tower 600T is too deep to fit there.
