You can save a few bucks and just get a quality air cooler, it will provide the same cooling and performance and brands like Noctua are very very quiet, unless you really like the water cooler look.

Personally I dont like AIO water coolers for the simply fact there's more to go wrong with potential leaks (rare), pump failures and for me cleaning of radiators.

As you already have an h100i, it'd be a complete waste of money to get any other AIO cooling solution.

Eh I already returned the h100i and got myself a noctua nh-L9I which should be here by tomorrow :D I love amazon prime and I love small cpu cooler because on my other computer I got a slim cpu cooler from thermaltake and that does the job well and it surpasses stock cooler so I am sure noctua is better then the stock cooler. I broke the tabs on the stock cooler and it isn't seeded correctly so now my cpu is 78C as of writing this right now and little to nothing running in background. Can't wait until I get the nh-L9I tomorrow.

You may have heat issues with that one as well, its not the most powerful Noctua has to offer. If you want better cooling in a small form factor than a Noctua NH-L9x65 or Noctua NH-D14, My favorite is the NH-D15, its large but cools like crazy.

The noctua nh-l9i is pretty good. Just got it and installed in less then a minute and bam it works. Out performs the stock intel cooler as predicted and is actual more quiet. No need for other noctua brands and I would recommend this cooler to anyone else looking for a better cooler then there stock cooler but without crazy intentions of overclocking because even though I got the i7 7700k, I don't really need to overclock but just wanted it because I do video editting sometimes and I do use handbrake etc... plus it seems to be better on my msi geforce 1060 6gb. Love it and never going back to any stock intel cooler or any other cooler unless I want to overclock which won't be my thing so I am good with this cpu cooler 100%. At idle I am getting 35-47 temps.

Can't go wrong with slim coolers or even noctua brand for sure because like I said I have a thermaltake something for my other computer and it out performs the intel cooler it came with but that socket is lga 1150 and I have an lga 1151 socket(main computer) and that other computer has an intel core i5 4590s with a geforce gtx 660 frozr 3 edition.

Like I said I am not an overclocker and that cpu speed is more then enough for my needs even if I do game.
