Problem with 7700k cooling size

Hi all , i have a Matx board , the Gigabyte B150M DS3H , a GTX 1080 , 3 ram slots ( 1xGB and 2x4GB of Kingston DDR4 2133) , a Seasonic 520 and a Corsair 400c . 

I want to buy a 7700k obviously to no ocing right now because my motherboard dont let me , so i am thinking on an 280MM aio at front ( because in TOP dont fit ) , or a good air cooler like Noctua DH-15 but i think that not fit too ... In a future i will buy a Z370 ATX board to ocing the 7700k so i want a nice cooling ... What can i do for the little size in my case and board ? Thanks

You could get a NH-D15S. That would clear the first pcie slot and ram.

Exact , the best air cooler i can fit is the NH-D15S ... So is that or a h100iv2 to put in front to intake , or a kraken x62 but dont know if fit ...


And one important thing is my mother have only 1 fan header and 1 cpu fan header, so i buy a splitter hub with 4 ports and connect the 2 stock case fans and one AF140 intake, so i have only one port to another fan ( i dont know how many ports use the AIO)

There is a better air cooler for my situation? With the D15S i can handle a light ocing to 7700k in a future?

The NH-D15S is plenty for oc'ing. There are similarly performing air coolers but none that are strictly better.

Ok, so is better for me to buy that noctua, and not a 280mm AIO? The AIO la louder, and i dont know is wanna be a high difference in temps

It's more reliable and quieter. It's a few degrees of difference at most:

In case you care about that extra bit of performance, the Kraken x62 does fit your case.

Gotcha, so air cooling is quiet, easy to install, cheaper and more realiable. 

 

AIO is more aesthetic, a little Best performance of cooling but more louder and a little Hard to install it.. 

 

I think i go for the noctua, but first i have to see the size of my actual cooler to the rams and to gpu, because i am afraid of space

Unless your graphics card has a thick backplate, you'll be fine. The cooler clears the pcie slot and ram.

I have a Palit Super Jetstream 1080, i think that the backplate is thin or dont have it... And 3 kits of ram Kingston value 2133. I think i go for air cooling because easy instalattion and quiet
