Is there any air cooler (price doesn't matter) that is better then corsair h100? I will be using the corsair h100 with 4 delta fans in push/pull. :D

I can't really think of any air cooler that can beat that off the top of my head but I could be mistaken.

I'd like to commend you on your ability to put up with noise if you're doing 4 delta fans in push/pull. That baby is going to be LOUD :eek:
 
I believe that the nocuta NH-D14 cannot beat the corsair h100 w/ four non-stock fans. Well it shouldn't since it's way cheaper, $90 compared to $110 + 4($15) = $170 :) You can almost buy two nh-d14s with one upgraded h100
 
The H100 has the advantage of having much more cooling area than what can fit on a regular motherboard with a traditional heatsink.

However, you do pay for it, the H100 being the most expensive heatsink you can buy.

I will be going with the 148 cfm and 50 decible delta fans :D So shouldn't be too bad, I might throw in a fan controller down the road if it gets bad. Should be nice though, can't wait to test out the temps on the 3960x. I had the 980x before and it was awesome but this is supposed to be 30% improvement from what I have read. :eek:

Seems like a waste of dough considering the Arrow is within a couple of degrees for around 80 dollars.

Closed loops aren't bad but I'll never give up my custom builds.
 
I do prefer air so I was wondering if there was anything better. I don't want to do custom loop as I don't really have much experience in that field and wouldn't really want to take care of it.
 
i got the h100 free with my 3960x cpu, and i dont care for it much, no better to me than my h70, all the technology in these cpu's and boards, and they cant make a cooler to withstand a 5ghz oc witthout sounding like a airplane, thats nuts, if u want very quiet very cheap, do like me, i have h100 with dryer hose vented form outside, hence i can turn fans down to nothing, nice cool silent 5ghz rig

Extreme overclocks with silence has belonged exclusively in the realm of watercooling. To expect otherwise is like expecting a race car to be silent.

And not everyone has sub-zero outside temps with which to cool their CPU.
 
watercooling means triple rads double rads single rads then push pull double the fans, hence NOISE
