Any of the top tier coolers will serve you well. I suggest picking one that either appeals in looks or is on sale this week.
Definitely not true please read this article before responding to a thread with the incorrect answer.

Air coolers and water coolers greatly very. Please know your facts before misleading others who are trying to learn.
I'm not sure what you find misleading in my post.
This chart, quoted from one of the articles linked in your guide, compares AIR coolers(what the OP is concerned with) and you can see that the top performing air coolers are close to each other in cooling performance. If the OP can get one of those top tier intercoolers at a good price, then it will most likely be fine for him given reasonable expectations.
Please don't come in to a thread talking about air vs water cooling when the discussion at hand didn't call for it. In reality he may not even want to buy a new cooler as stated in his OP. I don't want him regretting his decisions and hopefully he can read your guide and learn from it as well to make an informed decision.
