I want to know if this water cooler will work with the i5 4690k. I am not going to do any massive OC, will probably OC the CPU to 4.0 or a little bit higher. But for the meantime, I'm looking for a good water cooler that can fit into my case which is the Corsair Carbide SPEC-03. I'm not considering a dual fan water cooler since it won't fit in the case unless anyone can suggest me a better black/red case with an optical drive^^

You do not NEED a water cooler for that CPU. I have mine overclocked to 4.7Ghz on a $40:00 air cooler. (and stable and cool enough too)

For non-massive overclocking a sub $40.00 air cooler like the CRYORIG H7 or the RAIJINTEK Pallas would be both excellent and sufficient.

Water cooling, especially the samller units, is noisier, more complex, and less efficient than air, and many of them do not cool as well either.
