will this cpu cooler fit my cpu?

Just make sure it will fit into your tower. Sometimes other cards or stuff get in the way if the cooler is too large. >_>

i had the noctua d14 on a previous PC i built, now i own the corsair h100. the corsair h100 owns the d14. i put the fan speed on my h100 on the lowest and its silent.

Actually, the nh d14 is only louder by 2-3db 'usually' and when OC'd over 4ghz they're identical in every way, temps & sound. Not to mention the d14 is half the price.

Chart,


p.s. why would you buy the h100 and put it on low, I'm assuming you didn't OC at all. Huge waste of money.

im oced to 4.3, its on low because stock corsair fans are loud..i get temps in the 40's on low, so im fine. im changing the fans, and when i do itll be on high. i didnt like the d14 because of the way it looked. wanted my build to look sexier without a huge clunk of metal in there with 2 brown fans.
