Push pin CPU cooler

I have an i5 6500 in my fairly new computer and under load the fan sounds annoyingly loud. I have tried different fan profiles settling with just leaving the stock fan at ~1600rpm until it gets close to 70 just so I dont hear the annoying ramping up and down but was thinking perhaps a better cooler would just fix this issue completely. My problem is however, I dont really want to take out the mobo and due to my cases odd layout putting on the backplate for the cpu cooler is a real hassle. I was wondering if there was any closed loop cooler or air cooler with a reasonably large and therefore quiet fan with the same push pin setup as on the intel stock cooler preferably with pre applied thermal compound as well to aid in silence. 

 

If this isnt possible I guess Il just have to go through the hassle and get a 212 or something similar.

 

Edit: Something I thought might be of note is that as of now the cpu is not overclocked as I dont have a graphics card yet (waiting for pascal/polaris).

The cooler master t2/t1 both do but with 92mm fans Im not confident in their noise levels.

 

As for over clocking, Im not planning to push anything to the limit.

well i should rephrase myself, no good coolers uses pushpins `-`

 

that guy did 4.0, which was about 200mhz above stock lol

well you do what you want, i'll always be against overclocking locked chips, so no point convincing me otherwise :P
