Cpu cooler recommendation

[Srnewbee]

I am looking for a large cooler that will fit my old zotac z77-itx motherboard. I am going to be ocing my 3770k to maybe 4.4 or 4.7. My case is bit fenix prodigy so the height is okay. I am looking for a tall cooler like the intel ts15 one. Before you recommend a cooler, this board is so restrictive that the cpu cooler needs to be 3.7x3.7x height doest matter dimensions. It needs to either look like a square or a cylinder. Please help!

What ram are you using?

Where are you shopping/located? Budget?

Why does it need to look like a square or cylinder?

I am using generic samsung ram with no heat spreaders.  It needs to fit into the 3.7x 3.7 because it has all kinds of crap protruding, hence i am looking for a cube or a cyclinder shaped cpu cooler. To illustrate this mobo restrictiveness, on noctua's compatibility page, the only cooler that would fit was the nh l9i out of a dozen.

M9i or H7? Both fit fine inside RAM and mobo heatsink area. Maybe H5 Universal too.

Oh, the problem isn't the components on front of the motherboard but instead the back which prevents installation of a backplate. These details are mentioned in Noctua's compatibility notes. The NH-L9i is compatible due to not needing a backplate.

sorry for the belated reply. I decided to use my old thermolab bada 2010 cooler. I am now thinking about replacing the ghetto stock fan with some noctuas.
