Closed Loop Recommendations

Hi Guys,
I'm having a problem deciding on what cooler I'm going to use in my build.
I'm going to be using the Asus Sabertooth z87 MoBo with an i7 4770k and a Fractal Design Define R4 case, I was going to use a Corsair h110 but it seems that this cooler won't fit in the case and also the backplate will not fit to the MoBo.
I was just wondering if anyone could recommend any coolers to me that would fit into this build and also kick arse.

Thanks

Personally I would go with the Corsair H100i if doing a AIO cooler. The system warranty from corsair if the unit leaks is unmatched by other AIO cooler brands and the h100i is the best performing AIO atm for a dual 120mm rad.

Thanks, what fans would you use on this cooler?

Any 120mm fans, the ones that ship with the unit are a version of the corsair SP120's which are great fans just come with no customizable rings.

Keep in mind the fans are PWM and not all fans work with corsair link on the pump, but you can voltage power any fan and it will work you just miss out on the software control side of things. Some PWM fans do however work with it.

No real need to change unless you are picking up some Noctua's or going for custom looks.
