Hi,

I was thinking about reusing my Noctua NH-D14 SE2011, but after reading some reviews I realized that it may not be enough if I wanted to OC it to 4.2-4.3GHz.
What do you think guys?
Should I go for Corsair Hydro Series H115i instead?

Thanks!

So, do you mean would air cooling be enough, or should I go for water cooler?
