Recommendation On a AIO Cooler

[vak23]

I just replaced my old am3 build with a 4690k and the hero, using my old CM 212 EVO but it just stands out with my Black/Red theme and one of my friends told me to pick up AIO to clean it up a bit and that gives me the option to really push the cpu. I have my worries about Liquid but it can't be that bad and I can't really find a nice all black Air Cooler. So what's the best AIO can get for around the 100 buck price range? Or should I save and do a Custom loop?

From Noctua themselves:

" Since even small variations in the layer of paint can lead to an imbalance of the impeller, resulting in vibrations, higher noise levels, increased stress on the bearing and thus reduced lifespan, we do not recommend painting the fan. Please note that for the reasons stated above, painting the fan will void your warranty".

I'd rather just get the R1 Ultimate since it performs similarly to the D-15, has the black color scheme, and is $20 cheaper.

Hmm, right.
I would get this, then:

The Megahelms itself is a great cooler, and when paired with fans (that have better airflow than the XF140s that come with the R1 Ultimate, mind you), it's a beast.
