Need help for a cpu cooler

Hi, so i've got a i5-6600k and an Asus H110M-A/M.2 motherboard. I don't plan on overclocking (I bought the K version because it was on a sale and cheaper than the Non-K version). What are my cpu cooler choices? My motherboard is a Mini-ITX so can I have some suggestions of what coolers would fit? Thank you!

Depends on how much space you have in your case, but the Cryorig M9i is great for small OCs or complete silence at stock clocks

Any cooler that fits LGA 1151 which is probably all that anyone would buy.  And CPU coolers really depend more on height and RAM clearance (especially with mini-ITX) or if you want an AIO, radiator space.  But anything from Noctua is good or the Hyper 212 Evo is great for around $30.

I'm in Canada and I have an old HP case. Only thing I'm worried about is ram clearance, the case is big enough it's a Mid size case.

What ram do you have? Do you know the model number of the case/prebuilt?

What's your budget?

If you want a good looking all copper heatsink that fits in many mini-ITX cases, then I would go with a Zalman CNPS9500AT. Or just go to newegg, go to cpu coolers, and browse around for ones with good reviews and ones that fit in ur budget.
