Assuming form the sig you have a custom loop right now some of the best large air coolers would be the NH-D15 and Dark rock Pro 4.

Then if your looking to get as close as possible in terms of performance to a custom loop the large dual tower cooler would be your best bet, just double check your clearances around the socket.

It has over 40mm of clearance if you shift the front fan up or move it around to the back side of the cooler.

Depends how extra tall they are, the Pro 4 did have a notch cut out the cooler so you can fit the RAM under it. This one has the front fan placed up a little higher.
