How loud is your H110I GTX?
I am wondering how loud will the Corsair H110I GTX be as there is a really good sale on right now where i can get the H110I GTX for the same price as the Noctua NHD15. I am currently overclocking my I5-6400 to 4.3GHZ stable at 1.35V reaching a CPU package temp of 52C under Prime 95 testing. If you have any experience with the H110I GTX it would be great to hear back from you. I am currently on a cooler master hyper 212 evo and am looking to upgrade my cooler. I have a solid list of air coolers thanks to the people on this forum but am still curious as to how the H110I GTX will sound and perform. (It doesnt hurt that the cooler looks a lot better IMO than most of the air coolers on the market

Thanks for the input in advance!

Under a heavy load it was surprisingly noisy for me, until I swapped in the noctua P12s. The pump sound isn't that bad at full power.

That's a bit disappointing, especially considering the price of the noctua fans at 40$ each (140mm model), and needing two puts you right into the near EKWB Predator zone. Thanks for the feedback!
I think it might be time to explore how much overclocking I can push with the noctua nhd15—these fans just look awful.

The tests I conducted on the H110i GTX showed the fans producing a high noise level, reaching 64.2 dB at full speed. The cooler appeared to be of low quality, poorly constructed, and the fans were excessively loud. I’m considering the EKWB Predator 360 later this year, priced around $350 CAD. Although not inexpensive, I plan to prioritize other upgrades such as a better OC motherboard, an I7-6700K processor, and possibly another GTX 970 for SLI. Thank you for your feedback—I’ll proceed with the cooler purchase since it was on sale cheaper than the Noctua NHD15 with a rebate. The fans in quiet mode are very quiet below 30°C, but at full speed they become much louder than the GTX 970 fans. Despite this, the temperatures were excellent, reaching 48°C after one hour of Prime 95 at 1.375V @ 4.6Ghz. I’ll need to flash the BIOS back to F5 because the current stock BIOS is causing boot problems; resetting the CMOS is necessary for proper startup.
