Best cooler for 4670k 100 or less?

[daterxies]

What is known as the best CPU Cooler for under 100 bucks? id rather avoid CLC's as im paranoid (I do have a h100 now in my current build) but id rather just do old fashion fan and not worry about my pump going out or it leaking.

Thanks

I would say the noctua, with good airflow

Ill be putting it in a Thermaltake Chaser MK-1 Series case. I hope it has good airflow as i love the design and the removable dust filters seem like they will be very nice.

Unfortunately the d14 is not available from where im buying from.

I was also looking at
Phanteks PH-TC12DX
Nocture NH-u12P
hNoctua nh-u9b

Do any of these even come close to performance of the D14?

The phanteks peeked my interest since it can hook up to PWM. Not sure about the others?

I agree.

*edit* really, sorry should have read that.

i would get a Coolermaster Evo 212 over all the coolers you listed in post #3. It will perform within 2-3 c of the Noctua NH D14 or the Phanteks PH-TC14PE

The 212 Evo is a great choice, especially with the fan upgraded. (But just try it before you do. The stock fan should do quite well on a quad core. It's the 6 cores and up that really take advantage of a better fan.)
