From the shops that fool people by showing them the MRP.

Rule of thumb: All computer items have upto 40% higher MRP's printed on them compared to selling price, many don't know this.

I had to pay the MRP for the ASRock Z77E-itx, but no other option man :(

Actually is h100i and look on ebay, you'll find it (though I did not purchase from there).
But seeing you guys, I think I did a big mistake :(
So what if I put ducttape on joints? Well it prevent leaking? At some extent?
And which cooler should I have gone for? Just for personal info...
And if the cooler is good enough, could I overclock top 5GHz?
Cmon I am new at these things! I just purchased the cooler I heard most a about.
Now I already purchased it (ab pachtaye hot kya jab chidia chug gyi khet).... So please...

it won't leak............a lot of people use the H series in India....no need to worry and an hyper evo was enough for your case......you could have gone for the noctua

Noctua nh d14 is so rare! I already searched everywhere, its almost discontinued.
And I don't think h100i is bad. Or is it?
Can I overclock close to 5ghz with it?

So what should I do now?
My brain is now kinda messed up (mainly because of my sst pre-board exam tomorrow and here I learn that I did big mistake by purchasing this cooler).
So what is limit of i7 3770k of getting overclocked with my cooler?
Such an expensive cooler should have some special advantages. Right?

You need to buy a good thermal paste, get deepcool or cm ones, reset the cooler on the CPU, and now OC. But there's no surefire way of preventing leaks, should have asked that here first, I always advise people to stay away from liquid coolers.

Ok thanks.
So what maximum value can I overclock without messing my processor with this cooler?

Go to 4.5GHz for now, you can go to 4.8GHz but start slowly and test your way up, use 50MHz increments at a time and keep checking the volts and the temps.
