Which one of these should I get?

I don't know if to put this in air cooling or liquid cooling, so i just decided to put it here. I got a i5 2500K 3.3GHz LGA 1155 processor. I found two after-market coolers. The first one is a air cooled one and you can read about it here -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118223
The second one is a little more expensive liquid cooled one see it here -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835209049
Which one should I get? I plan to overclock. If you don't like either one can you find me one for the 1155 socket?

Try one of these instead:

Cooler Master Hyper 212+:

Corsair H50 Liquid Cooler:

Better value, equal or better cooling (IMO).

The sockets are not compatible

Depends. I'd go with the CoolerMaster Hyper 212+ above for $30 (it is 1155 socket compatible)

If you just want an overclock from 4-4.5 ghz, go with that. If you want to push it really high, go with the liquid Antec cooling

For the new sandy bridge you don't need watercooling...Not unless you wanna pass 5ghz...But a good air cooler is more then enough...To much of a hastle imo for watercooling...Go with Noctua since they come with high quality fans already...

The 212+ will keep you cool enough to hit the multiplier wall. Those self contained water coolers are not worth it when a good air cooler is better and costs less.
