Go to solution Solved by Ddm5,

so i am building a haswell system with a I7 4770K  i was going to order a h100i but after seeing linus' $2000 build guide i really liked the beQuite Dark Rock 2 so what i want to know is if i buy the dark rock 2 would i be able to overclock a 4770K to about 4.2ghz-4.4ghz and have it be stable and a reasonable heat

Depends on the voltage, I've had my 2500k @ 4.8Ghz on the Dark Rock pro 2.

If this review I found is to be believed, it looks like a pretty solid cooler. The link:

And with the above poster stating his 2500k was at 4.8, you should be able to do 4.2 without too much issue.
