The r1 performs well for a 4.7 to 4.9 depencies on the chip and case cooling. Basically, either option works. However, with the r1 you don’t have to worry about a pump failing later or the chance of a leak.
I'll consider another alternative, my 4770K is running at 4.6ghz with 1.3Vcore on a Corsair H105, operates around 75c with lower fan speeds (the fans are noisy at full speed). The 4790K offers superior heat dissipation. I'm really satisfied with this heatsink.
