[quote="J-Enermax"]Any recommendation on the type of AIO cooler for my 8700K/8086K overclocked? I know the Noctua NH-D15S is the best for air. I am looking for the good balance between noise and thermal performance
And no, I am not interested in custom loop (done it in the past, a very very BIG hassle for a marginal temp gain and I consider myself resistant to hassle).
P.S. Was thinking of splurging on a new case. Either the Lian Li 011 Dynamic White or the Cougar Conquer (both cases are gorgeous). Will do AIO on the Lian Li or pure air on Cougar[/quote]
The one I decided upon was the Corsair Hydro Series H100i V2, 240mm. When I'm not running anything, I want it to be as silent as possible, and this one does that. Absolute cooling prowess is not important to me, anything below 85C is fine, the chips are designed to handle it. The others I skipped because of reliability issues.

I can also vouch for the h100i v2, got one recently, upgraded from the first h100 from way back which worked reliably for many years, and it seemed like a huge step up in quality.
