Which should I chose? I have a 8350 and I will most likely not over clock too much but I want it to be a quiet build. Is it worth the temps to get the dark rock?

How much would I be able to over clock it though. I want it to run at at least 4.5ghz.

Generally AIO are loud as can be unless you get fans. If you got a couple of staticpressure fans, turned down ur cases rpms, it'd be the better choice. Imo.

The h100i is significantly louder when fans are set to match the performance of standard tower cooler.
