I will be getting a 4770K and putting it on a ASRock Z87E-ITX motherboard inside a Corsair 250D case. I'm not trying to go balls to the wall on overclocking. I may not even do it if the benefits aren't substantial. My main goal is to have a pretty quiet, small system that packs a punch. If it matters I plan to get an EVGA GTX 780 Ti or possibly a GTX 770.
From the reviews I've read and the information I've gathered the air cooler performs well and is very quiet but I don't know how well it would drive a mediocre overclock (say 4-4.2GHz) along with the ASRock motherboard. The major complaint I've heard about the H100i is that the fans can get extremely loud, which is actually one of the main reasons I am replacing my current system with its custom water cooling loop. I haven't read too much about the H220 though, other than it is superior to the H100i.
Thoughts?
