Hey guys ! :)

I am planning to build a new gaming PC and I have to choose between those two coolers:

- Be quiet! Dark rock pro 4

- Noctua NH-D15

I want to cool an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X processor on an ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VIII HERO mainboard.

System will look like this:

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VIII HERO WIFI
Corsair DIMM 64 GB DDR4-3200 Kit
MSI GeForce RTX 3070 GAMING X TRIO
Samsung 980 PRO 1 TB
WD WD40EZRZ 4 TB
be quiet! SILENT BASE 801 Orange
be quiet! Dark Power Pro P11 850W

It is not planned to overclock it yet.

In the past I always had issues with high temperatures and I want to avoid this, so I need a high cooling performance. I like the optic and the low noises of the be quiet! dark rock, but everywhere I looked the Noctua has the best performance (even if its ugly as hell -.-).

What can you recommend, maybe from personal expirience or what ever ?

Please stick to those two coolers if possible ;)
