Help/Input on fan decision?

Hardware Hub Cooling
1

In the process of getting my AMD gaming build together and looking at the fans. For the record affordability of the models I will mention is a non issue, but I don't want to spend extra $$ on something for no reason if it's not necessary. I have been looking at the Corsair H100i GT, the Cooler Master 212 EVO, and the Noctua D-15.

I will be running an AMD FX 8350 most likely on a sabertooth MOBO and do plan on overclocking but I'm not trying to go to the exrtreme on the OC, just as much stable performance as is reasonable. Case is a Fractal Design Define R5.

Thanks

Noctua is the best of the bunch if you are sticking with air cooling.

If you can grab one, the Cryorig R1 universal performs about the same as the NH-D15 and looks nicer too.
The phanteks TC14PE is also a good'un.
The 212 EVO isn't the best, it's good for the price, but not the best.

That R1 sure looks like a nice unit.

Between it and the Phanteks what would you pick?

Thanks for the info.

Probably the R1, but that's solely over the aesthetics. Have a look at some benchmarks, there's surely some floating around on the pile of shit that is the internet.

LOL, thanks again.
