And wow, the Noctua U14S is cheaper yet at $65 right now and cools basically as good with just a single fan. Dual fan (+$20) and it's almost as good as a 280mm Corsair AIO that costs almost double. Crazy.
I might end up going air after all of this, that came out 4 years ago, definitely wasn't expecting that. The question is cheaper and quieter vs. better cooling.
Noctua U14S - $65
Phanteks TC14 - $75
Noctua D15 - $90
