This may be the wrong place to put this thread, but I did not find a "cooling" thread

I have had so much trouble choosing the best cooler for my money. I have about $100 to spend on a liquid cooler (or a very quiet but cooling air cooler). Below this i have posted a list of specifications that i want.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- I MAY overclock, so i want a good cooler so i have a bunch of headroom.

- I Want a quiet-ISH cooler, I don't mind a bit of sound but not sound that sounds like a dying animal (Like the one i have now)

- I have a corsair carbide spec alpha case, and the top of the case can fit 3 120mm fans, and The front of the case has room for 3 240mm fans (more info on my case: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/carbide-series-spec-alpha-mid-tower-gaming-case-white-red )

- I want the cooler to be kind of hidden, i do not want a thick rear mounted cooler that covers up half my motherboard, as i want to show off my build.
My motherboard is an asus crosshair v formula ( https://www.asus.com/ROG-Republic-Of-Gamers/CROSSHAIR_V_FORMULA/ )

Here are a list of liquid coolers that i have been looking at, and if you could choose among these coolers OR post your own cooler that you think is best, go ahead.
