Stay away from the H100i for LGA115x. It has mounting issues that can make for high temps. The Nepton is a good cooler, as is the H105 or H100i GTX.

Nepton 240M.

No mounting problem, silent pump, incredibly high end fans, no buggy software.

This guy knows his stuff and the Nepton performs similarly but much quieter if I remember correctly.

Although I'm happy with the my Nepton 240m now, I did have to RMA the first one after some hideous noise, similar to that seen in this vid, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAMxNaDhigs. After a little research I soon realized it was quite a common problem, air in the system or duff pump.  Which may be something to consider when buying.

 

As I say though I'm happy with mine now, it's been in my system for a couple of months without any problems, and is much cheaper than the h100.
