I'm building my first PC this summer and I'm looking to use air cooling for the CPU. At the end of the summer I´ll move with the new computer and therefore have to remove the gpu and cooler for transportation. I will only be living in my new location for a year, so that's yet another disassembly when I move back. Do any of you know which air coolers are efficient, yet allow for easy removal? In other words, I need a cooler that doesn't require removing the whole motherboard.

 

Edit: I'm planning on buying an Intel core i7-12700

Noctua's Securfirm is really nice. It's 2 thumb screws to remove on most of their coolers.

Even Intel's stock cooler is very easy to remove and reinstall. 

Not knowing what CPU you're trying to cool it's hard to actually recommend something.

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.
