I personally would go the Corsair water cooling solution over that abomination of a CPU cooler (Noctua). But thats just me. It looks hideous and I would never purchase anything like that no matter how well it cools. Im a big fan of looks/performance (in that order).
If the rumors are true, it looks like AMD is going to be making a comeback. I heard they are going with lower speeds (think 1.8GHz) and its kicking the shit out of Intel i7's. Again this ISNT official.
I know what you mean haha. But the ASUS Sabertooth P67 isn't a looker either. I'm not a fan of the olive green/bone white slots and heatsinks. But they both perform well though.
As for the Corsair H50, from the reviews that I've read it has to be set as an intake, and if I was to set it as exhaust then I'd have to get an extra fan for push-pull so the temps are cool. That would only be a few dollars away from an NH-D14 which cools better.
I could always get the Antec H2O 620...
