Temperature does not seem to have any problems. Looks identical from the day i purchase. sits around average 40c - 65c in random usage

Goes as high around 80++ only while playing high demanding games or video converting that are power hungry

CPU only slightly OCed by builder. Never really touch it since after setup

but the AIO sounds very annoying. I hear people say may be pump issue or something that often happens to AIO

FANS on the AIO are corsair SP120

So i plan to go for more reliability and does not lack performance

budget... hmm, Below 600?

Dont really want spend a thousand cpu cooler

I heard noctua D15 also have d15s version. Which one better?
i wonder can it fit in my corsair 540 case

ASUS MAXIMUS VIII FORMULA motherboard
RAM are Gskill tridentz 3200mhz

Did not occupy the first slot of my case. Only second/third slot occupied by evga gtx980ti classified gpu

Go for D15 and not the D15s.. this 2 are diff league..
alternative u can go for deepcool assassin iii --> similar/same performance with D15 with better ram clearance...

If u prefer to stick with D15 then u have ram clearance issue for gskill tridentz... u might need to shift the the fan toward panel abit and this might lead to case clearance..

i would suggest you just to get scythe fuma 2 with half the price and no ram clearance issue..

you can check this review.. just nice their testbench is using the same processor as yours..
fuma 2
