New build - which CPU cooler?

[Jayos]

Making preparations and list of components for major upgrade. The last on was years ago

Looking at Asus ROG Hero mobo, with new alderlake i9 12900k

Case will be NZXT H170i

Looking at the LianLi Galahad CPU cooler as looks to be good value @ £139
would you recommend something else?
It needs to be quiet, very quiet.
what about the Corsair H170i - is it worth the extra?

Interesting read, a guy from overclockers has also recommended the msi.
Any other feedback from users of msi cooler?
Now the question 2 fans or 3? Are there big gains using 3 fans?
