Silent cpu cooler question

[Jumpcut81]

Hi

I'm looking for a cpu cooler for a silent build and I am trying to find an alternative to the Be quiet dark rock pro 4 because it wont fit in my case (I received a DRP4 today and my RAM is bigger than the cooler clearance). I do not want the noctua one because of the look... So I was wondering if I go with an aio like corsair 100i or NZXT RL-KRX52-02 Kraken (or other) and I swap the fans for the Be quiet silent wing 3, will it be silent as de DRP4? I got an old rig (i7-2600k) and I want to overclock the cpu to go with my new RTX2080. Eventually I will upgrade the rest of my rig so I dont know if it change the way I should choose my cpu cooler?

I am new to the world of building pc so I am very open to suggestions, it would be much appreciated!


thanks!

Noctua makes fans that aren't that hideous combination of browns. You could always get the Noctua and swap fans. https://noctua.at/en/products/fan/chromax

Silent? Le Grand Macho RT. No clearance issues with ram whatsoever. As good, or better than D15/14.

You could use it passively as well.

Try Mugen 5 or Fuma RevB by Scythe...both of them are alternatives to Noctua and be quiet.

+1 for the Le Grand Macho RT, Thermalright makes a good cooler.
