NH-D14
The Noctua performs exceptionally well against the competition with performance that's close to a watercooling setup. Even when the fans are silenced with the supplied ULNA adapters, the Noctua's performance is easily the best we have seen on air. I lack the means to record decibel levels, but I can tell you that the Noctua NH-D14 isn't loud. With the fans running at full speed, you will hear them but it's highly likely you'll have other items in your system that will produce as much if not more noise than the fans on this cooler. Throw on the included UNLA adapters however and it makes quite a difference to the noise levels, and in our testing it seems to have very little impact on the temperatures as well. I guess that if you're are even considering this cooler, you're the sort who wants to eek out every last bit of performance, but still, the option to go quiet without much of an impact to the cooling ability is really nice. This is one of the best air coolers I've had the pleasure of using.
"The Noctua NH-D14 is simply put one of the best, if not the best air cooler I've seen." (Scott Harness, Viperlair.com)
