Hey everyone,
I'm thinking about purchasing an i5 6600K and pushing it to its limits. I need either a red/black air cooler or a good water cooling solution. I have three options in mind:
1. Thermaltake NiC C5
2. Coolermaster V8 GTS
3. Corsair H60
Which of these will provide enough cooling for extreme overclocking? And if not, what’s the highest overclock you can achieve with any of them? Also, if you know any other decent red/black air coolers or affordable water coolers under $90, I’d love to hear your suggestions.

The V* GTS performs well, though installation can be challenging. Comparing it to the Lepa 240 Aquachanger might offer some insights.
