im thinking about getting 2 corsair af120 fans for a push-pull config for my 212 evo but maybe for 20 bucks more i can get the noctua nh-d14 i can only oc my 6700k to 4.5 with the 212 evo i want to push it to 4.8 or 5ghz. the reason i need new cooler is cause the fan brackets on my 212 evo have broke and am using zip ties to hold my current fan up my current voltage is 1.265 am having a hard time choosing between new fans and brackets for my 212 evo or getting new air cooler the noctua nh-d14 or the h100i v2. is there another aio cheaper than the h100i v2 that can handle 4.8-5ghz on my 6700k thanks in advance

I have a blue Corsair AF120. It's a wonderful fan, with LEDS, unless the one you're thinking of getting is the Quiet Edition. Noctua is a good brand, but has no LEDS. If you want your 212 EVO to look cool I'd use the Corsair Fans, but since you're using zip ties it depends. I think you should get a new CPU cooler if you're wanting to spend more money, but the Corsair Fans will cool your CPU well in a Push-Pull. Another good brand for CPU cooling is Be Quiet! which is a German brand which does low end one fan vapour chambers to high end triple fan dead silent CPU cooling. But it depends on availability on where you get your PC components from.
So overall I'd probably get a new CPU cooler, or if you can find new/used 212 clips on eBay I'd...
