Help Please! New case = new CPU Cooler

[oaksmokedbacon]

Hi all

I am just about to upgrade my case to the In Win 805 - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/in-win-805-aluminium-midi-tower-case-black-ca-055-iw.html

My current CPU cooler is 1mm too tall for the 805's width - a little frustrating but it only cost £20 and has had 18months good use. I guess the statement "life is defined on small margins" is true as well.

Having a look at a replacement it brings me to a little conundrum that I need some advice on. A lot of the good CPU air coolers hit the region of £30-50 and the first few I've looked at hit me with the same height issue... just mm's too tall.

However I have seen AIO watercoolers in the region for £60-70 such as

or

Now I've always been nervous about approaching Water in the pc however the costs have come down. I'm happy with air cooling on the GFX card as its pretty cool as is.

Are these types of AIO worth looking at and do they give good performance? or is there a good CPU air cooler that anyone can recommend?

Thanks for the help in advance and its interesting for me that a new case has made me think about using watercooling as before I wouldn't touch it.
