    Both of the HSFs you listed are top quality HSFs and should serve you well. There are several top HSFs that work very well but some cost more or require two fans vs. one. The Xigmatek Aegir is a top HSF that only requires one fan and cost less than most of the top HSFs. Aestetics are totally subjective so pick the one that meets your needs, budget and style.

    The link below has good scientific test data on a wealth of HSFs thermal capacity and some closed loop H2O coolers. With these highend HSFs you should have no heat issues with overclocks in the 4.8+ GHz. range with voltages up to 1.45+ volts, IME as long as you have good airflow thru your PC case.

    I do NOT recommend Closed Loop Coolers (CLCs) to people as they are inferior to highend HSFs in cost, noise and thermal performance as many tests have shown. The worse part however is that CLCs can and do leak and they can damage hundreds of dollars of PC hardware and result in lost data and your PC being out of use for weeks while you replace the damaged hardware. The only upside to a CLC is if you do not have sufficient room for a quality highend HSF. You would be better off to buy a new case than to use a CLC, IME.

    In the end you should buy what makes YOU happy.

    If a top air cooler isn't meeting your needs and your sure it's not a case airflow issue, the you should look into watercooling done right. Not some junk premade stuff. A CPU with a 120x3 radiator will ALWAYS give better temps than any air cooling or AOI setups. Costs $$ and could be only 3-7C better. Big overclocks come up against the PHYSICS wall. You can only do so much with ambient cooling, not matter how effiecient.

    That said, if your going for major overclocks etc then that might not be enough. Then you look at subambient cooling. Even more expensive and wayyy more complicated.

    Actually, a top air cooler with push/pull 4000 RPM fans is about what watercooling can do.

    But quality WC can do that with a wisper of noise. Got $$? Few weeks to learn, easy stuff.
