I am going to be using my PC mostly for gaming and some school work; online classes and Microsoft word and PowerPoint. I'm going to get the Intel core i5 3690k and I'm looking for a good CPU cooler to use that will fit In a corsair 760t. I'm not going to be overclocking right away, bit I'd still like the option to. I was going to get the corsair h100i but I read some reviews that said that it leaked. I want to know what cpu cooler would be the best for my use and that will fit in the 760t. I am OK with air coolers or closed loop water coolers.

The chance of leakage is low, and if it does corsair has been known to replace damaged components. The main reason you hear about leaking is people complain before they compliment something. "My icecream is too cold" its icecream.

Now that I forgot what I was going on about and want icecream, if you dont want to get a h100i, you can pick up the Nh-d14 or Phanteks PH-TC14PE Both perform almost identical to water coolers, while being quieter can cheaper.

212 EVO its the best choice for non-overcloackers and even if you overcloack is still a beast of air cooler. Only the Noctua NHD14 or the Phanteks PHTC14E can be slightly better than the 212 EVO but just by a fews Celsius, but a better bang for your buck is the EVO 212.
