Best AIO watercooling solution for i7 4790K ?

Hi, i've recently been looking for a good aio liquid cooler for my i7 4790K as in the summer, air cooling just doesn't work. I was looking for something like the corsair H110 but i was not sure if it would still work on LGA 1150. I was also looking to be able to customise fan speeds etc... from software like corsair link but i dont think the h110 works with that.. What would you guys pick for under 150$? Thanks

X61 Kraken? Also most modern AIO's will have mounting brackets for all kinds of sockets. Including the most popluar one ofc. 

My Pc: Cpu: I7 4790k @ 4,8 Ghz @1,25 volts, Motherboard: Maximus VII Formula, Graphicscard: 2x Titan X @1,4 at stock voltage (soon to be replaced), Ram: 32 gb Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133 Cl 9, SSD: 2x 850 Pro 1 Tb in Raid 0, 2x Samsung 840 Evo 1 tb raid 1,, PSU: Corsair HXi Series 1000W 80+ Platinum, Case: H440. Soon to be watercooled again, maybe, probably, the Titans are too loud.

There's a wealth of information out there bud and corsair is going to explain what their products do and dont work with I dont mind doing the occasional easy google for someone but this isnt difficult information to find out on your own.

I have researched quite a bit and on the corsair website nothing was mentioned about link... I've even watch yt vids about it and still not much was mentioned in the popular ones... But all in all i was just asking about your guys suggestions for coolers.

If you mean the software there is no reason it shouldn't as for the hardware I dont use it so.

H110i GTX will be good.

 

Kraken X61 will also be good.

 

Best AIOs in my opinion, used both.

 

Plus, CAM blows Link out of the water. But even still, imo having fans hooked up straight to the mobo, or a simple PWM hub is leagues better than using extra CPU power, an extra USB header, and shoddy software/drivers (lookin @ you Corsair Link)

i use the H100i, it get the job done.

Keep temp below 38C for normal load, and never get 50 on full load. (average env temp in my country is 30)

the corsair link is just the tool to manage pump and fan speed  also the led color.

I think i will consider the kraken x61 as i also have an h440 case.

CAM is NXZT's temperature/fan control/etc.. app, much like Corsair Link.

Outside of the extremely powerful but expensive h220-x. I would recommend the auqachanger 240 as it is one of the cheapest on the market while out performing the h110i. It's a rebrand of the enermax 240 that jaystwocents and others raved about.
