So is the second link is better? I mostly prefer the second link because it can handle up to TDP of 320 Watts(I Think) awhile others are aound the 200 watts(Probably lower)...
Just going from reviews and from what I hear on Toms
the Noctua is supposed to the best
that is one of the most highly rated
with that said
I dont think you can go wrong with either one
try a search on toms on Noctua NH-D14 and you wil see many recomendations
of that cooler
Agree everywhere you read on the web teh Noctua is considered the best
in its price range
only complaint if size and fitting it
I dont think you would want to use it on a mATX board
definitely would have trouble with tall ram like Ripjaws
The Noctua is better in terms of cooling but the Zalman unit is no slouch either. I do believe the Noctua unit is the quieter among the two. So obviously, it comes out the winner here. Now what are you going to cool with it? And are you sure it fits your case? Its a huge cooler.
