What's the best aio cooling for 8700k?

Hello
I'm looking at the h115i but have no idea which aio would be best.
I'd prefer something quiet that can handle the 8700k. 
A build I made. Noctua NH-D14 (x62? Not sure about it)

Don't get the X62, I've seen way too many pump failures to recommend it easily. It's kind of a hit or miss type thing, but just to be safe I'd recommend the H100i v2 from Corsair

I have an h115i and at 5Ghz and 1.35v it stays around 75c. 

 

Was thinking of getting an S36. I'd probably get that if you have space for a 360mm. Really depends on how much you want to OC.

Could i OC my i7 8700k at least up to 4.6GHZ with the h100i v2 ?

Depending on the silicon lottery, you could probably do 5Ghz

Well yes, dependso n where you are though. If you are paying for this kind of service I would expect at least warranty from the person doing it. Otherwise you might as well swallow the 20 euros for a delidding kit and do it yourself. Honestly with skylake and newer its super easy and in my opinion almost no risk.

What the difference between h100 v2 and the h115i?
The s36 is in the same price range as the h100 v2. Is it better?
