Hey guys, so I'm making a rather excessive Ryzen 3900X desktop build (RTX 2080Ti GPU), and I've heard it's a toasty chip that needs a lot of cooling, so I'll need a solid cooler. The computer being *quiet* is a huge priority for me, so for the case I'm going with a FRACTAL DEFINE R6 BLACK QUIET MID-TOWER CASE (no glass, so the computer isn't an annoying lighthouse if it turns out a lot of awful RGB/LED strips are installed internally no matter how much I hate those - it's a computer dammit, not a lightshow, it should be quiet and unobtrusive and eat heavy multi-thread workloads and AAA games for breakfast).
For coolers I'm looking at these three, but I have no idea what the real differences between them are. Is nr. 2 quieter but cools worse? Is it just superior all around? (It is a little more expensive, but not enough that I care, I don't mean to penny-pinch here.) What are the tradeoffs, here, if I just want the cooler that has the best combination of being quiet and cooling really well?
1. Corsair H115i PRO Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler
2. Corsair H115i PRO Cooler w/ PCS Ultra Quiet Fans
3. Corsair H115i RGB PLATINUM Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler
