I'm currently looking at the Cooler Master Nepton 140XL and the Corsair h80i GT. I'm definitely open to other ideas. I do plan on OCing.

Err....


I only try to point you that without any proper reason choose a water cooling solution over an on air is only expend more money to get a similar performing cooler that have a way lower mtbf (will fail a lot sooner) and can't be fixed in a lot of cases.

If you want, nice for me but im sorry i will not recomend what i think is probably an inferior solution if i dont known the reasons that make it a better solution (and im using water cooling myself, btw and known very well the problems and the advantages it have).


True what juanrdp, you got a max of 170mm height for a cooler which is enought for a good air cooler. I was forced due to max 140mm height to go watercooling but you got plenty of space.

EDIT: To be on topic, yes CM neptun or deepcool maelstrom 120 is good too, also corsair h80i is a good choice and with this cooler if u get a better fan for this radiators u can get even better performances, i plan to geta delta fan of 5000 rpm.
