Hi i have been looking around the last few weeks for a Liquid cooling system and i'm now stuck on 2 please help me decide on them or maybe give me a 3rd better option :) this will be for overclocking my system but not to the super extreme overclocking (but who knows where it ends:D)

the systems i'm looking at are:
NZXT Kraken X61 280mm All-in-One Liquid Cooling System RL-KRX61-01
https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Kraken-Liquid-Cooling-RL-KRX61-01/dp/B00L0YLJJG?ie=UTF8&tag=pcpapi-20
Corsair Hydro Series H115i Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler , Black
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Extreme-Performance-Liquid-Cooler/dp/B019955RNQ/ref=sr_1_7?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1469380081&sr=1-7&keywords=liquid+cooling

If you can give me a reason why one is better then the other that would be awesome
i have heard the NZXT cools a little better then the H115I but the different is minimal ???
NZXT is louder, H115i has a better build quality, price is almost the same so that does not matter
as for looks they both look good to me

Thank you so much for any info/help you can offer

Actually, going from an NZXT Kraken X61 to a H110i GT, I can say that I lost a couple degrees under load with the Corsair. The H115i is supposedly even more powerful than the H110i, so there you go. That being said, the paste that Corsair pre-applies may just be much better stuff than what NZXT used.

I would say to always go with the newest coolers from Corsair when possible. The X61 was very good to me, but it is dated at this point. I would say to go for the H115i.

That is not actually a policy Corsair has. Though they have been known to do so, they do not have to honor that in every case.
I wouldnt take one cooler over the other based on warranty. The failure rate is so low you likely will never need it.

I would much rather have the higher build quality and better performance of the X61 any day.
