I have an i3-6100 paired with the AsRock Z170A-X1 MotherBoard, I'm looking for a good cooler that I could use that would fit, and be quiet, and support upgrading (I may upgrade to an i5-6600k or i7-6700k and do some small OCing.) The case I have is the Corsair Carbide 100R which only allows coolers as tall as 140mm(or something around that, it's either 140mm or 150mm.)

 

Thanks for the help.

Id just use the stock cooler. That cpu makes almost no heat at all and will be silent with the stock cooler.

It's not silent at all, it's very loud despite being on the "silent" option in the BIOS.

150mm clearance. You are good to go with H7 and M9i.

ive used many a stock cooler and there silent if you turn the fan speed down. Try setting it to manual

What rpm is the fan running at and what are your load temps?
