I am running a i7-6700 in my current rig with the stock cooler. However under load it is a bit noisier then I would prefer. My case is the Corsair Air 240. I have been looking around PC part picker and dug up the Cryorig C7 CR-C7A. Just wondering if you guys would recommend something better suited for my needs. 

 

Plz don't bash me for wanting to put a aftermarket cooler on a locked CPU :(

Apparently the M9i still fits, its closer to 125-130mm clearance.
