I use that one for my mini ITX rig and it screams like a banshee at startup. Speedfan tuning is essential for this one as its a 3000 rpm fan.
I used the same fan model but in 2000 rpm spec for my NH-U12S and it was damn good on my Ryzen 1700.
@deepakvrao i have a NZXT H500 which is more or less the same case and I am air cooling a 12 core 3900X at stock with a Noctua NH-U14S cooler.
If you are looking to squeeze the max overclock go for the Corsair H115 models based on your RGB preference.

P.S. Avoid Deepcool Castle as quite a few of them leaked as per GamersNexus.
And as for the thermal paste you will see at most a 1-2 degree difference between the good pastes like NT-H1,Cryonaut, Arctic etc. provided they are applied correctly i.e. the pea method for Intel.
I am a bit icky about AIOs after I saw the carnage caused by leakage in a friends' PC so these are the air cooling options for you.
