have a h100i letting go soon brand new condition. besides that fact, h100i is also the best cooler amongst all those you listed.

Yup, anyone using noctua can share your experience as well?

Noctua can help improve air flow too, and improve all in general isn't it?

Ram, the figures are different but in real usage is almost the same?

RAM just get the normal kingston 1600MHz dual channel kit enough. I've tried the vengence @ 2133MHz vs kingston 1600MHz really no diff for gaming, just get the one with the lower CL. Unless you're doing video encoding, that's where the higher MHz comes in.

noctua is mega silent but as seen on the linustechtips video where they tested stock fans vs noctua nff12 for the h100i, the silence costs you a few deg
