I've been using my stock cooler on my 4770 (non k) for everything i do with my pc (gaming, web browsing, the whole 9 yards) I'm willing to spend up to 100 dollars. Must be air. I have been looking at the cooler master V8 because it looks cool but i cant game at 82c so i need a cool cooler (lol)

I know this is stupid and also based on opinion but i want something that looks awesome with the rest of my setup (ive got 2 780s) so i would like something that looks a little cooler (lol)

I would be willing to take the plunge on water cooling if i knew that i wouldnt have to maintain it (basically is the h100i for the most part maintenance free?)

Noctua is releasing new Fans that are not using the same color scheme. They are basically putting a new Fan out for all their Case and cooler fans. Right now the official list does not have all their previous models but I imagine they will be out at some point. At least you could change the fans and then you could have the aweseomness of the Notcua heatsink and the aesthetics that are bit more pleasing to the eye
