i5 2500k vs i7 2600k

Is that due to the cooling performance, the setting up, or the noise?

What tetris said. It cools just as good if not better than the H70 and is far quieter. I have the Noctua set on a user fan profile and I still don't hear it at max RPM on both fans.

The only thing I hear from my case, oddly enough, is my graphics card. I don't hear the case fans or the NH-D14. I use a HAF 922 with the fans the case came with, but I'm looking to change at least 2 of them out for 3 more Noctua fans.

Any chance of a mod maybe shifting some of these posts to the thread actually about coolers? :P
