I love the look of air, personally. Or a custom loop.

 

But, air will perform better, it will be quieter, and it's more reliable, as there are MANY less points of failure. If you have your heart absolutely set on an AIO you've been given a lot of recommendations already.

What about the Cooler Master V8?

 

It looks hot as fuck but I am guessing it's overpriced performance-wise?

That looks ridiculous... and it doesn't perform.

I could tell that since it looks great, it was going to suck performance wise.

What?

 

I mean the Nepton 140XL...

Oh. I was comparing the H1001 to the 140XL in my comment. Just go with the company youre most comfortable if youre pondering between these 2. 

Intel 4790 K - R9 295X2 - Gigabyte Z97-SLI - Corsair Vengeance Pro Black 1866 CAL9 - Corsair HX 1000 -Samsung 850 EVO SSD - Samsung HDD - H100I - Corsair C70 - G400 Logitech - Asus VS247H - WASD custom mechanical and QCKPAD! 

Staples of LTT: Getting an 4690 K will resurrect your lost family members, AMD = More heat thus AMD = Satan.

In this case, I don't know which I would prefer.

Corsair = big radiator + shit tubing + average looking CPU block

CM = smaller radiator + average tubing + good looking CPU block.

If you're tied on them, IIRC the 140XL cools down a few degrees more.
