More specifically 6850k/6800k.... which one to get?

Here are the choices:

OFC i would prefer the pay not over the over the odds, so i am looking at one with the best price/perf ratio, allowing at least the 4,4Ghz OC (which seems to be standard/avg OC with these CPUs on water per my research)....

So, one of the Corsairs? H105,110GT, 115GTX? Or Fractal Design Kelvin S24? Or something else?
 
I have a 5820k with an H110i GTX, 4.5GHz isn't an issue, I would assume 4.4GHz should be the same story with a 6800k.
 
I can't speak of the others, but I have the Cooler Master Nepton 240M. I would have went with the 280L, but it wouldn't fit in my case. Now, I originally planned on going with the Corsair H110, but I heard that the pump was noisy and the weak link. My Cooler Master was a new design, but it's been a year and a half now and it's very quiet with no issues. I have my 4790k running at a fixed 4.4Ghz (all four cores) at all time. I played around with it when I first built the box and ran it at 4.7Ghz and it never got above 60C under load (prime 95). Of course, I don't see any reason for the high o/c as I'm not cpu limited in any way. 4.4Ghz is the turbo for the 4790k so I just leave the o/c at that.
 
I have moved this thread from CPU and Overclocking, to Cases and Cooling.
Please use the proper section next time.
