Seems pretty ok, but look at that NH-D15 go! No regrets getting that one quite a while ago.

Very nice to see so many coolers compared in these tests Hilbert!


Ya I look at how all the AIO's do against that Noctua cooler. They do know how to build an air cooler and now there's options to fan colours finally.

I just installed this a few hours ago and it's dead quiet, my old cooler was H100i v2 and, like so many others, the pump died after 1 year.

My cpu is hard to cool because I've got it OC'd so high but I'm using the noctua NT-H1 instead of arctic silver and I haven't seen temps go past 45c while using prime 95, my old cooler I would hit 60-63c.
That's with "balanced" on everything, I tried the zero rpm mode and the fans stopped as expected but temps went way up so I'm sticking with balanced for now.

Quite an upgrade from the H100i v2 in all areas.

My only gripe about this cooler, and yeah it's my fault because my case is so old, the radiator mounts would not line up with my cooler master HAF case, my case is an old one but my previous H100i V2 fit perfectly.

I think I bought this case in 2011 and have never had a legitimate reason to buy a new one until now

My study/gaming room suffers from being too bright & hot on warm summer mornings, I got reflection on my Dell U2711 even with the blind closed. Solution? Window film = much less solar gain and no reflections on my monitor.

+1 I have the H110 in my Scan system, it came with the last gen Corsair fans which were too noisy. Had the H110 and rear case fans replaced with Noctua fans, much quieter now.
