In need of a CPU cooler

[Wobblyyyy]

In need of a CPU cooler that meets these requirements:

 

At least 49 mm RAM clearance

Doesn't block first PCI-E slot

Can cool an i7-7700k very well

Can fit in a H440 from NZXT

 

Going air cooling - no water coolers please.

Thanks

None. Well, something reasonable. Under $120 if possible.

From what I've read, it doesn't have enough RAM clearance?

Oh yeah.49 MM is really talI would really recommend a AIO at that point otherwise the NH-U14 is a good idea

Okay - Any water-coolers you'd suggest? (sorry for so many questions)

H100i V2 or the Kraken X62.Pretty much the only one's I would reccomed. The only difference between the 2 is the X62 being a 280mm cooler so it's like 2-3 degrees better and RGB

if you can find one on the cheap, bequiet dark rocks are great  you do slice open your fingers trying to mount them tho..

 

otherwise, how much -if at all- are you planning to OC that 7700k? because you cant quite beat the clearance of a D9L

What about an AIO cooler?

 

edit :saw you want air cooling ... will check back in a minute.

 

EDIT2: NHd15 ? That has some RAM clearance . And depending on the orientation , you'll have enough space for PCIE cards.

The dark rock 3 should fit.
