Whats better than a Corsair H70 apart from custom watercooling?

As above really, i'm looking to play about with my cpu cooler and possibly replacing it with something better. Any suggestions?

Corsair H80 or H100?

I dont have room for a 240 rad though and the H80 wouldn't really be a upgrade considering it's cos the same size rad and pump?

Theese are both very highly rated as far as air coolers go.

Reputedly better than the H70/50 etc, though youll need to make sure theyll fit on your board as they can block ram slots, depending on what type of ram you have, high heatsinks are a no no.

The silver arrow looks godlike but the 140mm fans might not fit in my case since the 120mm rad only just fits...

the silver arrow is 163mm tall (although some people have measured theirs and found it to be up to 167mm tall). if you have over 170mm between the motherboard PCB and the side of your case then you will be fine
