Is it true that air cooling can be just as effective as water cooling?
Yes, when considering price/performance there are some air coolers that offer better value and nearly the same performance vs. closed loop coolers. The H100i and similar double-radiator closed loop coolers are going to yield a few degrees better temps than the Noctua, but the liquid coolers also louder with the stock fans.
Tom's evaluated a few air and liquid coolers together: LINK
If you want to push your overclock, you're going to need every bit of thermal performance you can get with these Haswell chips. But you'll be sacrificing quietness. I think the H100i and the like are in the 38db range.
