I would like to overclock my i7 4790k to 4.4Ghz, which I know is not much. I would just like to know if a liquid cooler would be the better option, or if I should save some money and get a more affordable air cooler. Thanks, also please leave a link to the cooler you feel would be best.

For a while I had my Core i5 4690K clocked to 4.6GHz with my Hypr 212 plus cooler. You could probably get some good temps with your i7 at 4.4GHz and a Hyper 212 Evo cooler. I only overclocked mine to do some benchmarks and then put it back to stock speed because it's fast enough for me at stock speed. http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hyper-212-RR-212E-20PK-R2/dp/B005O65JXI

You can get an advanced liquid cooler like the Corsair H100i, or the Thermaltake Water 3.0 Extreme. For 4.4 Ghz though, a 212 EVO will be enough ^
