Cooler for I7 6700K

[PC4Lyfe]

Which of these 3 should I go for to cool the i7 6700k?

• 
  Thermaltake Water 3.0 Extreme
  
  Corsair H80i GT
  
  Cooler Master Nepton 280L

These are the only options I have currently.

Feedback please!

I like the smaller footprint of the Corsair, as well as their phenomenal Warranty.

That said unless you plan to overclock the crap out of your computer I'd buy a Noctua NH-U12S over all of these, save myself about 50 bucks, and not waste my time, and risk the chance of leaks/damage/noise.

Get the cooler master hyper 212x turbo, it is cheap, and has excellent performance for overclocking

I picked up the H80i GT with my build and I really appreciate the fact that the radiator takes up less space.

Besides some initial problems with installing corsair link and setting up a custom profile, it's been excellent.

I think you're all missing this part of the question, OP didn't ask for recommendations on what water cooler to get

When you post on the internet you open yourself up to opinion, and especially here if we feel you're making a poor decision, we are going to let you know. I'm not going to just recommend something when I feel something else is better, or what they are doing is a waste or wrong, its just not the right thing to do.
