To start, my setup Ill be running is an i5-6500 with a cryorig m9i and a 960 (a 1060/1070 in a few months). Aftermarket cpu cooler for noise and looks is why.
To me, the phanteks looks a lot nicer and is smaller, but has poor airflow. To combat this Id get 3 cryorig xf140 fans (2 intake, one exhaust) and a fan splitter. This makes it end up being the more expensive option.
The nano s still looks great, but is bigger and has no psu shroud. However, it has a lot better intake area that'll allow great airflow, and comes with 2 gp140 fans, I'd just buy a third matching one for another intake.
What're your thoughts? Looks vs price/functionality?
Can anyone chime in that hs either case? Thank
