air coolers are great, liquid coolers make alot mroe noise and the temps are very little better.

get the dark pro 3, also no chances on leaking and stuff

i suggest you going for an Arctic Freezer 240, oly 72€(in EU) and has same performances and noise of Kraken x61, difference is that it has no fancy sofware and leds, it's made by Asetek which produces the 90% of the aio today. If you are going for air evaluate beside the excellent Dark rock pro 3 the noctua nh-d15 and cryorig r1

go for a large air cooler. cheaper, more quiet, simpler to set up. liquid costs more to set up and has chances of leaking if something goes wonky, but it is more flexible in terms of placement.
