Nah, the 140XL is great and perfect. Who doesn't want low insanely low temps? 

 

If it's cheaper though, go with the CM Seidon 240M.

@nivra552 140XL is a good choice there. Could also use the NZXT X31, Silverstone Tundra TD03 as well.

I haven't personally used it. So my opinion is very limited. How ever, others do beleive that the Kraken series are good value.

 

With that being said, I'm not much on the single slot (120x120 or 140x140) coolers, as most good air coolers are on par with them. e.g. My H80i in push pull, was not much better that my Noctua NH-D12s. actually, I think the performance was the same, with the Noctua being quieter. Dual slot AIO's are a better option in my opinion. Just not the H100i. H105 if anything........ or a different brand

 Yeah they have a huge foot print on the motherboard.

 

Silver stone Tundra TD02 is not a bad option and has a Dual 120mm foot print.

 

Other options for air cooling could be the Noctua NH-C12P or the Phanteks PH-TC12DX. I would also suggest the Dark Rock 3/Pro, but if you can't fit the other Noctuca, i'd doubt it'll fit. I'm not much on the Hyper 212x/Evo
