Hi im deciding between the Noctua NH-U9B-SE2 and the Corsair A70. A couple
of questions

1) What will cool my i7 950 @ 3.7GHZ better?
2) Will I be able to fit the A70 with a side panel fan on the Fractal define R3?
3) Which is quieter?

A70 moves more air and comes with a longer warranty, but is kinda noisy at 26 - 31.5 dBA.the NH-U9B moves alittle less air but is alot quieter at 7.9 - 17.6 dBA.IMO i would go for the NH-U9B becuase it is made with quality parts and is a much better product.

Noctua's are a tad offsetting if you're going for a color theme match, but they are the real deal. There's an old saying of measure twice, and that applies here. Make sure the cooler isn't too big for your case. Check the specs of the cooler against your case measurements before ordering.
