I am going to be using an i7 6700K CPU
I do not know if I should go watercooling or not. I want to overclock as far as I can, so I think watercooling is the way to go. My case supports up to 280mm radiator.
My budget for a watercooler would be £100
Any help will be fantastic.

OK Thank you, do you know about the temp on overclock and the noise at all?

Here is a review from Tweaktown. They do a great job with their reviews.

It mentions on there about "Corsair H110i GTX Quite Mode" and it is one of the quietest coolers on the chart. Is that a specific model, or a software feature for the H110i GTX?

It's referring to the mode the cooler is running on. In Quiet Mode, the cooler pump and fans are running lower RPM's. In Performance mode, they run at top speeds. The fans (and pump) are louder in performance mode, but the it keeps your CPU more cool under higher load and temps.

So, can I keep it in quite mode even when there is a heavy load on the CPU or not?
