hey i am planing to overclock my i7 4790k in future.....is corsair h100i enough to keep it cool?? or do i have to buy noctua nh d-14/15??(though for noctua i have to change my case too and my budget for cooler is not too much)
and if i add any one of this cooler do i still need to add all the case fans(except the two which is already provided)??
i have asus maximus vii hero mobo

so basically what u r saying is that i have to add any of those two coolers along with 4 more case fans right??or two case fans would be sufficient with any one of those coolers??
 
You haven't said what case so I don't know what fans it comes with. Usually they come with 2 at the front and one at the rear. The Noctua won't add any more fans outside the case. The H100i will - to the top of the case.

So just leave your case fans as is and add the cooler with its fans.
