Haswell: Behemoth Build | Tatsu's Room [2.22.2014]
Tatsujin:
^ The build is about done, only thing that I'm still having doubts about are between the H100, D14 and the V8 GTS. Brand names or no brand names, I go with professional reviews and reviews from people that purchased stuff and reviewed it, etc. I do my own research and thanks to all the people who've given me a thing or two in this thread it helped me tune and finalize my gear. As far as a mouse and a keyboard ... just .. no. I have the G600 and the K70 which are among the very best on the market.
So if you want to contribute, look over the CPU cooler discussions and contribute to that.
Tiffanys:
Your taste in peripherals is terrifyingly sad...

Much better. Oh and that Keyboard comes out in September.

H100i if you plan on swapping the stock fans with SP120-quiet, otherwise its gotta be one hell of a noisy screamer when you load it.
an alternative to D14 is Phanteks PH-TC14PE which is a bit cheaper than D14 as well, it performs identical to H110 if thats what you ask.

What it'll come down to Tatsujin is this.
In OC H100i beats the NH-D14 By a decent little bit
At stock idle H100i has edge depending on ambient temps then the edge could swing to the NH-D14 slighty (1c or 2c)
If you intended to upgrade in the next 3 years then you'll probably get a new CPU cooler (speaking to H100i)
If you want a set it and forget it cooler Then the NH-D14 will last longer (theoretically speaking)
if you want solid super long lasting performance (3-5 years) Get that NH-D14 or it's newest version (they may have released something this year not sure....) Or something comparable.
If you want the best in raw performance the get the H100i.
Tatsujin:
How about H110 and 2x Corsair AF140. Mount them to the side panel of the Blackhawk Ultra and mounting the AF140 to the other side of the radiator for more airflow.
The questions: Would they fit on the side panel? Which direction should the air be blowing? Inside the case or outside?
What do you guys think?
Other options -- Cougar CF-V14H.
