The Corsair H55 is a great option. It's a very powerful cooler with a very good price. Technically, the best one would be the Corsair H100i, but unless you are a crazy overclocker you should be fine without it

 

 

Good luck with your build!

Here is a 14 way battle that includes some of the coolers you mentioned.  Maybe this will help somewhat.

To properly cool your CPU, you need at least a 240mm AIO.  Anything less than 240mm is a job half done and you will get the same performance as air tower heatsinks at a higher price.  As a minimum, go for 240mm AIOs. 

 

Definitely avoid the H100i.  While it works just fine for some, there are a lot of cases of people complaining about high temperatures because of improper mounting, which can only be fixed through modification(Washer Mod), noisy pump, and buggy software.  All of those factors and its just not a product I can recommend.

 

I personally own the Seidon 240M, and I love it.  I paid a really low price for it though because it was on sale, so depending on the pricing where you are, it might not be as appealing to you.  It is a great cooler though.

 

The Corsair H105, H110,and NZXT X61 and Cooler Master Nepton 280L are all good options.

 

What I really think you should look into is the Cooler Master Nepton 240M.  Its brand new, with all new technology.  It performs almost as good as 280mm AIOs, while only being 240mm, and it is the most quiet of all AIOs.

 

Could you show us some prices for these models please?

Nepton 240M. Easy choice!

[hajsveen]

@Faceman is the 280L a good choise?  Im planing to bulid in the Corsair 760T so i think a dual 140mm radiator fits

Yes, absolutely. They're all good choices, just need to find the right mix of price and performance. I personally think the Nepton 240M is a better option, but both are excellent coolers.

Just get a spray bottle and squirt some water on your CPU every 30 minutes, works for me.
