Any super easy to install, quiet, lga 1150 coolers?

[Deadpool2onBlu-Ray]

I am looking for a cpu cooler that is small( I have a asrock microatx mobo with 4 ram modules. It also has to be quiet and also fairly easy to install. Any suggestions? I am running in an h97 chipset lga 1150

About as small as you can get while still getting reliable cooling performance.

I would look into Noctua.

 

Noctua is love. Noctua is life.

 

Edit: What kind of a case are you running? That is important than the motherboard and such.

What kind of CPU are you cooling? I had a small, silent one that performed exceedingly well on my G3258 while being very quiet, but when I used it as an interim cooler on my 4790K after upgrading and while waiting for my H7, it struggled mightily to keep up. SilenX Effizio EFZ-92HA3

 

Install was simple, just plastic push-pins, no backplate because of how little it weighs, and a rubber ring that the heatsink clips to. Word of warning: if you don't think you're about to snap your motherboard in half while snapping the heatsink into place for the first time, you're probably not pushing hard enough. Install time is a few minutes.

You can throw in Noctua's largest cooler without any kind of clearance issues. Though, I'd probably just recommend either the U12S, or their U14S.

Its a 4590. I know I don't "need" a cpu cooler because I am not overclocking but the intel one is loud and ugly, and does not cool it that well. It is pretty much always on high rpm

I don't think it will fit since I have 4 ram modules and it is a small motherboard

Can you replace the stock fans with other noctua fans? the brown ones do not do it for me.

Noctua has a Redux line that is grey in color.

 

Other Noctua coolers I'd recommend are NH-U9S and NH-D9L. They both use 92mm fans. The replacement Redux fan is NF-B9 1600 PWM.
