Or should I get eSports 34? I am running an 3570k @ 4.3g with 1.2v and am sick of noisy single slot water cooling. I want some silent pc until my next upgrade.

thanks
I tried to find his test procedure but it appears he doesn't give it. Therefore assume video testing procedure is flawed. It does show testing is done in a case but I see nothing about how air temp is monitored during testing. Lots of time talking about a lots of things but nothing at all about how case airflow is setup or how testing is performed. Case appears to be a stock Define case and they have case fans that can't overcome the resistance of front grill and filter so case airflow is extremely low. Testing without air temp into cooler being logged at same time as CPU temp is taken have no base for accuracy because air temp changes as fan speeds change .. and every degree change in air temp is reflected with almost exactly the same change in CPU temp at same cooler fan speeds. Also not mentioned is TRUE Spirit 140 Power is rated for 360w TDP, almost twice what he claims test is. I've ran TRUE Spirit 140 Power on I7 920 @ 3.8GHz for years and we tested at 4.3GHz against NH-D14 which cools same as NH-D15 and it was consistanly cooler as you can see in below graph in post #22 this thread:

What you get is up to you. But whatever you get I suggest you take the time to read "How Airflow Works and How to Optimize Case Airflow" in link below:
https://www.overclock.net/forum/22319249-post5.html
Because if case airflow is not setup so cooler is using cool air (not air 10-20c warmer than room) your CPU temps will be 10-20c hotter than they should. Doesn't matter how good or how bad the cooler is if case airflow isn't setup properly.

Below is link to how airflow works and how to optimize case airflow. Last bit is what I use to monitor case airflow into coolers.

Sounds like times are good. Assuming this is R5 case, have you replaced the stock garbage fans with better ones? The stock fans have such low pressure rating that they move almost no air even at full speed through grill and filter restriction. Also I've found removing all PCIe back slot covers increases rear vent area around GPU and improves front to back airflow lowering both GPU and CPU temps. I didn't realize H5 was heavier cooler, but I'm not surprised.

I did check the Noctua fan and I have enough room to drill some mounting holes in the frame for using the TS Clips for mounting so when I'm off work next I'll get the Noctua mounted in.

My old Cryorig H5 would keep me at 70c under normal loads but hammering it with prime Small FFT would reach as high as 93c under torture test with my Noctua at 2000+ RPM. The TS140 is able to bring that temp under control with 85c at only 1300rpm. The everyday temps aren't very different but the TS140 runs the same temps at lower fan RPM, 40g lower weight, and a much more solid mount system.
