Basically WHICH is the better CPU Coolant something like a Corsair H100i or Noctua NH-D15? The premise is just to find out if water cooling or air cooling is best, not the models of represented.
P.S. Guess to the same point is positive over pressure case better than negative pressure?

Air is much simpler, no need to worry about coolants spilling out and good air coolers can take quite heavy overclocking aswell. If you also run SLI/crossfire then watercooling would propably be a better option when overclocking to keep case temperatures lower.

Overpressure is better especially if your case has dust filters (to make sure the air coming in actually goes thru the filters).
