Hey guys I am having some trouble finding an cooler that is compatible with the z97 lga 1150 motherboard. I will be overclocking my i7 4790k with it and I want it to be quiet. My price range is up to $100 USD. 

 

Thanks!!

Uhm.

What will you be using it for?

There's tons of coolers, but you may not NEED a $100 one.

Also, what case do you have? And, what does the rest of your system look like?

I really wish that we'd just make organic hardware already, that grows and adapts to the demands it needs to meet. That way, grannies' computers can be floppy sacks of organicness and the 12 year old Minecrafters will look like the guys that only do bicep curls, and the nerdy programmers will finally have justice, with their body-builder rigs that skipped leg day.

It'll fit. Now, whether or not it'll fit your case or if your RAM has enough clearance is another story.

You have to provide the case model and memory to get an accurate answer.

Noctua NH-D15 - still waiting for good benchmarks, but early reports suggest this will easily replace the NH-D14 and does better than the NH-U14S

Noctua NH-U12S - quiet, a little smaller than the D15, only a couple of degrees worse cooling.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - low cost, decent performance.

If you had more budget I'd suggest the Kraken X61 run in silent mode but the X41 in silent mode will do a decent job.

Phanteks makes similar CPU coolers. They also come in a variety of colors like the Sexy Santa one below. This is a 140mm CPU cooler.

All four color options. There might be more. These are the 120mm cooler ones, though.

I believe it does. But it will overhang memory and the heatsinks.

I think you should go with a dual tower cooler for best temps and noise.
