Which cooler performs best in terms of cooling, noise, and durability? Also, how would adding a third fan to the noctua affect temperatures?

Noctua NH-D15 offers better reliability and quieter operation, though the X61 pump may become louder.

Noctua NH-D15 offers better reliability and quieter operation, though the X61 pump may become louder. For a 5960X at 4.4 GHz, I recommend considering the noise characteristics of the pump.

I still enjoy the BIG AIR, though the pumps can get noisy.
