Looking to upgrade my already decent water cooler. My water cooler isn't really good for over-clocking, and i would like to get something real good to last a while. Price isn't really a problem, as long as we don't get ridiculous.
 
What one do you have now?

In reality though, if you want to step up, go to a full system. You can get a starter XSPC system from frozencpu for like $150

Most of the closed loop coolers do about the same and all face limits at extreme overclocking, that the pump just isn't enough to keep it going fast enough to cool.
 
Solution
I like the Corsair H100i for 2x120mm fan mounting, or the NZXT Kraken X60 for 2x140mm fan mounting. H80i for single 120mm fan and Kraken x40 for single 140mm fan.

The old Swiftech H220 is supposed to be coming back to the US, re-released under another manufacturer. It is also a great pick.
