Help! Concerning New Air Cooler for My System After Failed H100i

Hey Guys,

 

Recently my Corsair H100i died due to a pump failure. I will be RMAing this device for a new one and putting it in another system, however, I am in search of  both a reliable and quiet air cooling solution for my specific needs.

 

I understand that air coolers can and most likely will take up more space on the motherboard then what my previous AIO liquid cooling solution was doing. This is important as I have the Corsair 350D case and am thus using a Micro ATX motherboard, using the the first PCIE slot for my GTX 780 and wanting to keep the second always open for the potential of SLI or future upgrade paths. Additionally, I own high profile Corsair Dominator Plantinum memory which I have been told can interfere with most well-known air coolers.

 

Therefore, can you guys please a suggest an air cooler that will meet these specifications? 

 

Regards,

 

Kevin

The hyper 212 evo shouldnt interfere with the RAM, Linus used it in the dream PC build, It is one of the most well known coolers and for 25 dollars it is pretty good!

Noctua NH-U12S is really good about memory clearance, and is a first-rate air cooler, but check the Compatibility doc on their site to be sure.  PCPartPicker says it fits in the 350D.

There is basically no price limit, maximum performance and silence is desired.
