best air cooler for Intel Core i7-4930K

[Rithweek]

My friend is planning to build a new high end computer and was looking to go with the Intel Core i7-4930K processor. He will be also buying a Asus P9X79 WS DDR3 Motherboard. But what air cooler should be enough to keep the system quiet as possible with a good performance and low temperature. Any advice on this would be helpful. Thanks

I would suggest your friend to go for Noctua NH-D14 CPU Cooler for his current high end computer build. You can easily get it at $82.99 on any retail store. This cooler fits all the needs for high end builds with its nice fan. It will keep everything cooler inside the cabinet even if you plan to overclock your Intel Core i7-4930K processor. It is very easy to install as well with its detailed instructions supplied.

I would suggest if you want a better performance then use a good Cooler, as suggested above, and also use a fan on every tower blowing at the side of the center of the tower. It will help the temperature to drop a few degrees celcius for sure. The other coolers that you can try out would be Corsair Hydro H100 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler, which is also great.

There is no doubt that Noctua NH-D14 is good but take a look at the Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E Extreme Dual Fan Universal CPU Heatsink as well. Its fan is built to fit any needs that you might have inside you computer case. The extreme edition has high-RPM fans which will surely keep everthing cool. I will highly suggest this cooler if you have a very small board with no room available.
