NH-U9F
We can plainly see that the Noctua blows away the Intel stock cooler, and beats the Thermalright SI-128, only the Coolermaster HyperTX has better temps than the Noctua, and they are very close especially at idle. The main difference is that the Noctua is virtually silent, and I didn't even use one of the included adapters, I hooked it straight to the motherboard fan header. The Noctua NH-U9F is the quietest CPU cooler I have ever owned or reviewed, Noctua knows silence and performance should go hand in hand. I can easily trade the silence of the Noctua for the extra one degree of coolness that the HyperTX gives while being louder and bigger.
"[T]he Noctua NH-U9F is an extremely good CPU cooler, with excellent cooling performance and and a very low noise level. The Noctua NH-U9F is something that is made with care, high quality and performance in mind and I can easily recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade there CPU cooling system to something much better and much quieter than the stock cooler."
