For liquid cooling a commonly found aio cooler is the Corsair h100iv2.

A high quality air cooler is the Noctua NH-D15.

For a cheaper alternative I a popular choice is the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo.

For the best overclock It is preferred an aio with at least a 240mm radiator or a really beefey heatsink. Aio's can generally have a larger price premium compared to an air cooler generally as they are more of a premium product.

hyperx would be better than evo.

That is a fair point but it depends, I found on some research the fan on the hyperx is slightly better but for that price premium it is not worth it. They run quite similarly to each other. The only difference being the included fan.

There is so many options without a price range given its hard to choose a certain set of cpu coolers.

Liquid is just makeup it looks better but you can find good and even better air coolers for cheap like Nochtua.

If you will overclock I would go with liquid.

To be honest it depends on numerous factors. Personally I would choose an aio if i did not have much space on the motherboard due to restrictions as high profile memory or the size of the case as the radiator can fit at fan mounts. If you have the space for a large air cooler then choose an air cooler.

The benefits of air coolers is that their is no need to worry about leaks or pumps failing and other maintenance issues as such.

The benefits of an aio is things such as aesthetics and they can fit in most cases.

Yes you can but it is not recommended as it is more of a budget orientated third party cooler just don't expect anything amazing.

D15 is better than almost all AIOs and its cheaper.
