Need a CPU cooler / advice on parts

Armakar

I'm trying to save money with my build , http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/yCb6D8

 

As you can see, It's pretty expensive. I've decided 100% on the 6700k and the 1070, i'm happy with the H440 and the motherboard has great features and fits the case and components well. 

The only th

However I am undecided on the CPU cooler. I don't necessarily want a " budget " cooler, I want a good performance, quiet cooler. I don't want to see my CPU hitting 70 degrees while gaming.

 

I am undecided on a cooler. I don't mind aircooling or watercooling, but I have conditions that I need met :

 

 

It needs to fit in the NZXT H440.

If it's an aircooler, it cannot be massive and block out parts of the build ( I want the RAM and GPU to be visible as well as a decent amount of the mobo.

If it's a watercooler, it must be atleast 240mm ( I don't like small rads, not worth imo + looks ugly ) and it MUST have a good , RELIABLE manufacturer customer service wise. For example, if Corsairs coolers leak and break your components, they replace all of your damage components free of charge. this is a MUST if going with watercooling

And, it needs to look nice and be well built, like the rest of my build.

 

Thanks!

Cryorig H5 Ultimate or NZXT Kraken X61, imo. Both fit what you're looking for perfectly.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

Scythe Fuma should fit with the results you look for. And doens't cost as much as an similar performing watercooler with less noise overall. However it is obviously a bigger block then a liquid cooled.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

You would need to be mroe specific on waht you need, what you look for, budget and if it fits with case cooler height and possible RAM clearance.
