Corsair H100i or H110i GTX to Cool i5-4690k?

[Matthew-san]

I'm having a tough time deciding between paying a little more ($30) for the H110i GTX over the H100i. I like the new aesthetic design of the H110i GTX but I'm not really sure how much better it will cool my i5-4690k. Is the H110i GTX worth the extra money or should I go with the H100i and save some money.

Neither. Save your money and get the Noctua NH D14: NH D14 (LINK)

I'm actually looking for a liquid CPU cooler but thank you for the suggestion. I've chosen Corsair as my primary choice because I'm doing a build that consists largely of Corsair parts and the H100i and H110i GTX match the design of my PC.

If you like the looks of one more than the other and the cost is worth it to you, then get the better looking one. Either will be more than sufficient, temps on the 4690k aren't as much of an issue as voltage limits. When overclocking, you'll almost always hit voltage limits before thermal's become the limiting factor.

I'll probably go for the H110i then because I find it's design more appealing to me lol. Thanks
