Yea true that, but with a 4790k? :)

The H100i has a lot of problems with mounting and it is not guaranteed to work out of the box without additional modifications.  Get either the H105, or Cooler Master Seidon 240M if you are looking at 240mm AIOs.

Or that super boss NZXT x61 that linus used in the Razer PC build?

That is a 280mm AIO.  Another solid option, just make sure it will fit in your case.

 

If you live in the U.S. the cooler master seidon can be had for $70.

Yea, the top of an H440 has 140mm fan mountings.

 

Negative, I'm from EU

If your motherboard and case have enough clearance for a thicker radiator, I would recommend the h105. It has better performance and a better mounting solution so you get lower temps.

No complaints with my Water 3.0 Extreme (240mm Asetek AIO). Mounting was easy and the included monitoring software is nice. Would recommend. I got it for $50 on sale but, temps are fantastic.
