Best Cooler for Overclocking ( 5820k)

[Cagruntas]

What would be the best AIO cooler to cool a 5820k overclocked and keep it at really good temperatures? Currently running a Corsair h100i GTX but the pump has been making a lot of noise so I have to replace this one anyway, my case supports 240 mm,280 mm and 360 mm radiators so any AIO at that size.

I'm currently running 4.4 Ghz at 1.3V on this processor, temperatures are at 30 degrees Celsius at complete idle , 38 to 42 degrees Celsius while doing some heavy browsing and multi tasking and while gaming around 50 to 60 MAX so far.

But since I have to replace this cooler anyone can recommend a upgrade for it? That would give me better cooling?

The best AIO cooler in a reasonable price range is the NZXT Kraken x61 for $115.
The next step up are the EK and Swiftech AIOs, which are crazy expensive.
Performs very well, and beats out the Corsair H series AIOs.
Get two Fractal Design Venturi HP-14 fans to go on the radiator, and put it in a push configuration at the top of your case.

+Cagruntas I know the perfect AIO water cooler for you. EKWB EK-XLC Predator 240. It consists entirely of custom EKWB parts, but comes preassembled, so that all you have to do is install it. I own the 360 Rad version, but for you I recommend the 240 version without quick disconnects. The reason I suggest no quick disconnects, is so that you have a completely sealed system, that doesn't require you to deal with the maintenance of a custom water loop.

This system retails for $199.99 (no more). I know that's considerably more money than your Corsair AIO, but I have an idea:

Submit a warranty claim for your Corsair H100i.
Buy and install the EKWB Predator 240.
Receive new or factory refurbished replacement from Corsair and sell on Ebay.
Use proceeds from sale to subsidize the Predator purchase.

* Note: I recommend that you purchase new, but if you decide to buy a used version, then make sure that you have version 1.1 of the Predator and not version 1.0 (recalled due to water leaking defect).

I'm not sure if I can claim warranty of this as I am from the Caribbean and how I buy my PC parts is I purchase on Amazon USA and ship it to my country VIA a skybox so I'm not sure if Corsair would give me back a new cooler but now the pump noise in unbearable .

I wanted the EKWB predator for a while but I see no stocks on Amazon sadly so I as thinking about the Corsair h115i which seems to be a bit better...I'm still not entirely sure but I do want a better cooling solution for my CPU because before I ran a mildly small 4.0 GHz OC and 1.11 V but now at this overclock things got a bit hotter lol. If the predator comes in stock on Amazon again, I'll grab one but besides that, you know any alternatives?

I'd prefer something that doesn't get extremely loud either :|.

Imo they're not worth the cash.
They offer cooler temps sure, but the Kraken x61 will still keep the CPU VERY cool for half the price.
The H115i performs about the same as the Kraken x61, so that would be perfectly fine.

Yeah I might just get the Corsair h115i then unless the kraken x61 runs quieter because there might be some compatibility issues with the board with the EKWB predator...

The Kraken does run quieter, but it's minimal.
It all comes down to aesthetics, pick whichever you think compliments your build best.
