I have the max hero and an I7 4770k. In all honesty our computers are very similar and I love my hero. Got it running stable at 4.4 GHz with 1.2 vCore, and it runs cool during long gaming sessions, highly recommend that board.

CPU is an h100i from corsair, have a 230mm bitfenix on the front, a 120mm bitfenix on the bottom and a 140mm bitfenix on the back for exhaust. The nocturna is a pretty good air cooler, you could always google search for CPU cooler benchmarks to find a good one that fits your budget.
