I am using the mobo Impact from ROG, and my processor is a 4770k i was wondering if a Noctua NH-U9B is better then a h75. Or do you have any other ideas for a good CPU cooler? it cooler has to be 120mm or 140mm

Sorry for the late reply, If you are going to infact OC then I suggest a Liquid Cooling system, If not, the standard cooler for your cpu will do the trick, or you could buy the fan that you were going to get.

after some time of looking i was thinking about that, getting a liquid cooling then getting the noctua fans for it.
 
the real question is how far you are trying to overclock. For me, with my setup at least, i feel i could only squeeze out an extra .2 or .3 Ghz granted im getting say, 5- 10 more degrees to play with, but the maintenance isnt worth it to me. Quality air coolers come pretty close in performance
