Water cooling is better than air cooling, also looks better.

I can recommend the Corsair H100

Stefan Bargisen :

I also recommend the H100, well the H100i to be exact.

Water Cooling will be a lot better for overclocking than air cooling if you want a quiet system. However if your not OCing then both are fine.

TechyInAZ :

Well.. He is buying the K version of the CPU, so we have to assume he will overclock, right?
So he should definitely buy watercooling.

I also forgot to mention, what is your budget OP? Because air coolers are a lot cheaper than water cooling.

Tbh... If he isn't buying water cooling, and isn't overclocking the shit' out of that cpu, he can just use the stock cooler..

TechyInAZ · Oct 25, 2014

Stefan Bargisen :

Nooooo. Don't use stock coolers with i7s, your i7 will reach around 75C with stock cooler.

Stefan Bargisen · Oct 25, 2014

75 degrees isn't so bad imo..

TechyInAZ · Oct 25, 2014

Stefan Bargisen :

i'm talking about probably 70% load at those temps, so it will get hotter at 100%.

Stefan Bargisen · Oct 25, 2014

TechyInAZ :

I can see the issue then. Haven't owned an intel CPU since Core 2 duo came out, lol.
Imho, I just can't see the worth for it over AMD.

The Noctua air cooler I posted is great for Overclocking and is quiet as well. http://www.anandtech.com/show/6830/cpu-air-cooler-roundup-six-coolers-from-noctua-silverstone-and-cooler-master/6
