You're gonna have less frustration with the X61 than the H100i, @Faceman knows that the H100i has a mounting problem which may have a affect on temps. The X61 is the best to choose from, however if you had more money to spend on a cooler, i would suggest a Swiftech H220/240X instead because it's a open loop AiO water cooler.

X61. I have two in my system and they are fantastic, no complaints whatsoever. I have read a lot of threads about H100i problems as well, doesn't seem like the quality and reliability is there this time around.

Swiftech H220/240X Or Kraken x61?

Depends if you ever plan to expand the loop.

 

If yes, 240X.  If no, X61.
