Hey guys,

I'm a returning techie after about 7-8 years out of things. I've just ordered myself a whole load of kit including a i7-7700k and was wondering what the best cooler was that I should be looking at. It's all going into a Silverstone Fortress FT02 that I found I still had tucked away. :)

So far I've been looking at the Dark Rock Pro 3 and the Noctua NH-D15. I do have the NH-D14 but I'm not sure it will fit the new LGA series. My last chipset was a LGA 1366. Not even sure the D14 is still viable anyway. :)

Thoughts?

Oh nice! Thank you! I didn't realise things had stabilized so much when it comes to mounting coolers! Look at that compatibility list! :D

I have the DH14 and DH15. For me there is no performance difference of note between the two but the DH15 is a bit more compatiable with higher height ram. If you don't have ram clearance issues you can still use DH14 and save a bit of cash.
