Ok, I'm cooling a 4,4GHz Core i7 920 using ANTEC H2O 920 using single or 2x fans and it's cooling it adequately with minimal noise. I'm wondering, should I just stick with ANTEC 920 and just get 6700k or should I invest in a new cooler (would prefer not to)?

Seeing the design of case that I have (Carbide 330R), I could place a dual radiator on top, but then it wouldn't be as silent.

Now, considering this fact, the Core i7 920 at 4,4GHz is eating around 200+ W of power at full load based on wall socket metering I did some time ago.

Now, 6700k is rated at 95W and has reached 110W in torture benchmarks.

Based on this logic, shouldn't my existing cooler deal with a stock 6700k easily and even take overclocking and be no worse at cooling than it is now with i7 920? Am I thinking correctly here?

Benchmark Scores bench...mark? i do leave mark on bench sometime, to remember which one is the most comfortable. :o
it should work just fine, i used a H70 on a 920 and then on a i5 2400 and then on a Xeon E3-1275v2 so a H2O 920 should be sufficient.

Also, coolers for LGA1150 should fit on LGA1151 fine right? Socket external dimensions and holes are the same, they just changed pin count right?

Yes it should fit just fine. The only thing is depending on the age of the AIO it may not last forever. Most AIO's are at least expected to last (Decent quality ones) about 5 years.

This one is roughly 2,5 years old, though it's running for many hours a day. I'm running RealTemp real-time in taskbar so I get alerted with sound alarm if temperatures excede 90°C so I should be fine.

Yea those Antec Kuhler 920's are pretty good so you should be fine. My friend is running one I gifted him on an Phenom II X6 1100T overclocked to 4.2ghz and its been running for maybe 3 years on that.
