Hi all, I just ordered a new system but the only component I have yet to add is a heatsink for my cpu. I want something with decent power and I was looking into the Corsair H100i. Is this a good choice to go with? I most likely wont be overclocking and if I do it will only be very little OC. I dont want to put my system under water as I dont want to deal with maintenance. The CPU is a Haswell i7 4770k, thanks.

The h105 would be better in the case that you have a larger radiator slot for it. The h110i is good, so are a lot of others. I like the NZXT t40, phanteks and noctura are awesome, and then smaller fans like the 212 will still cool it well.

With the 4770K look at the Hyper 212 EVO for good cooling up through 4.4-4.5 beyond that, maybe Phantek or Nocua, I run mine min of 4.6 24/7 and went with the CM GTS V8

Pretty much what he said, if you're not really going to do high overclocks (4.5+) and you don't want to be cleaning dust off the fins of a radiators than you won't need one. BUT, bear in mind that water coolers will run much more quieter than a air cooler, & you will need to strategically place your air cooler in the case to have better air flow.
