NH-D14
The next set of graphs show how each cooler performed under our load conditions. As you can see, the winners are a little more clear-cut this time around. While the stock Intel cooler is still adequate at taming the heat from our Core i5 processor, it is a full thirteen degrees hotter than the nearest competitor. With its 140mm and 120mm fans, the Noctua NH-D14 bests the crowd by a two degree margin in the CPU category, as well as creating enough airflow around the socket to best handle the heat generated by the voltage regulators.
"The Noctua NH-D14 and the Cooler Master Hyper 212+ both earn the Bigbruin.com 'Highly Recommended' award. The NH-D14 earns it for it being the top performer in terms of cooling ability" (Chris McInnis, BigBruin.com)
