What to choose? Air vs Water cooling.

Hello guys! As the thitle say, i am facing a hard decision here. I used to cool my cpu with a Corshair H100i GTX which failed after 1 and a half so now that I got my money back from the retailer i need to buy a new cpu cooler. I don't know if i should pick liquid cooler or air cooler. I want to keep a stable oc on my i7 5930k from 3.5ghz ( stock ) to 4ghz - 4.2 ghz.

My options now are :

• Corsair H110i GT ( lots of leaking stories, very noisy, scared to take it and ruin 2500$ woth of computer components)
  
  
• Noctua NH-D15 ( Big, fat , ugly but..eficient)
  
  
• Cryorig R1 Ultimate ( Awesome looking but don't know how it performs on this enthuziast cpus)
  

I really need some suggestions. Do you think an air cooler can sustain that medium overclock? It's necessary to buy a liquid solution? I am very confused and really picky..i don't know wat to do so please help!

I haven't used an air cooler in a long time, but the big tower coolers can be every bit as effective as water coolers.

The reason I like water coolers is because it is easy to expel all the hot air outside the case, so it doesn't mix around on the inside.

Depending on what your case looks like you can achieve some of the same effect through clever ducting of the airflow.

I think these huge Noctua coolers look great, just gotta get everything to match:

Thanks guys. I have a Corsair Graphite 780T case..pretty big case with lots of space inside. I removed the hdd racks so the front vents are not blocked. I am curious how one of those 2 air coolers that I mentioned ( noctua and cryorig) would perform. My ambient temps go anywhere from 20 °C in the winter to 30 °C in hot summer days. I had a corsair h100i gtx before and died after 1.5 years which is dissapointing IMO..and thinking about the fact that I will pay 150$ only on aio + 75 more to replace those noisy coolers compared to 90$ for an air cooler, really makes a tough decision. I don't want to sacrifice performance for budget because I already invested over 2000$ in my pc, but I am a bit afraid of pimp failure and leaking. I really don't know what to buy and I can't decide because I want to have decent temps on a decent OC.

Need some help here I'M looking at my pc and I can't use it because I can't decide about cooling

I would just get the Noctua NH-D15. No fus about it working or not, cuz its just a bunch of fans. I think it looks pretty rad, but to each his own opinion. Still though, I've had an aio that went bad and starting leaking, so yeah, no more aio in my lifetime.

I've been custom loop for a year now and have cultivated a snobbery about it. I probably never will, BUT if I were looking for a closed loop cooler, I wouldn't consider anything but a kit AIO like the EK Predator or one of Swiftech's H units. These are made of real watercooling parts like DDC pumps (much more reliable than the anemic block-pumps you find in Corsair-like units), blocks, fittings and tube, and can be taken apart and serviced or expanded, but they come preassembled and prefilled and can be installed like a normal non-serviceable AIO.
