I'm looking for a nice cooler for a possible overclock. But I don't know which one I am going to buy.

The noctua has better cooler performance, but it is very big and I don't like to see it in a case.

In the other hand, corsair H105 is a little worse compared to nh-d14 in terms of cooling, but it looks so much "clean2 in side the case that I'm really considering it.

By the way, I've got an i7 4770k on an Asus Z87.


Is it worth to buy the corsair liquid cooler or should I just get noctua?
 
Solution
I have my 4770k @ 4.4Ghz cooled with a D-14.
Right now the hottest core is 33c while watching hd stream on one screen and answering post here.

I just took out my h80I for the NH-d14 Wasn't getting the temps I wanted. Now with my overclocked I7 3770 I am getting 25 - 33 idle, 55 - 60 full load. Was up between 70 and 80 with the H80I even with reseating it, with new paste, two times.

The NH is MASSIVE in size!
