Hi all,
After realizing that a define R4 will not fit in my set up, I have gone with a micro ATX build. It's linked below if you are interested...

So as the title suggests, what would be the best for cooling a 4670k with an overclock up to 4.5Ghz? I would have gone for a Dark Rock 3 but the 350d only has 160mm clearance according to Corsair. Aesthetics and noise levels are contributing factors.

Thanks in advance.

The H100i would be a good idea, though you might not be able to do push/pull. The Noctua NH-D14 would fit as well.

Either one would be a good choice for what you're looking for. Keep in mind that even with proper cooling, OCing is never guaranteed.

Ok, what are your thoughts on the h75?? I'm just interested in what other people think, I've seen reviews which got pretty good temps, http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/corsair_h75_review.... Is it worth the extra money for the h100i, as I'm a sceptical about how a low end AIO being the h75 can produce those results?
Just push on a h100i should be fine though.

Thanks for the response.

One more thing, when running pull setup on a h100i, should I buy af 120s or sp120s? Decided to go for pull after watching linus' video, would af series fans be better as they aren't pushing against the radiator?

The H75 seems satisfactory, though that 4C difference could make or break your OC. Also, keep in mind that Haswell generally runs hotter than Ivy Bridge because the VRM is located on the die for Haswell, rather than the motherboard.

As for whether static pressure or airflow is better for pulling, I'm not sure, even after some Googling; hopefully, someone versed in the subject can interject. I do know that high SP fans are best for pushing air through the rad, and that if you're going push/pull, it's best to use the same fans on both sides.

Ok thanks, I'll just have if anybody else knows. I think I will go with the h100i though.
