Hey guys, I'm having trouble picking out the best CPU cooler for my build. My last attempt was the Corsair h100i Liquid cooling system, but it sadly doesn't fit my case without modding. Modding is not something I'm willing to really do since it would void warranty's etc. on my new build. So my question is what would be the best CPU cooler to get that fits my case without modding, or having to take out my side view fan.

Setup:
-Rosewill Blackhawk Mid Tower Case
-MSI z97 U3 plus Motherboard
-G.Skill Ares 2 x 4gb Ram (Getting 2 more, the fan can't overlap my ram slots)]
-Radeon 6570 Graphics (upgrading to a GTX 970 w/ this fan purchase)
-Intel i5 4690k (I'd like to clock it at a steady 4.2 ghz, maybe 4.5)
-EVGA 750w psu

Money is not really the issue for the CPU cooler, as said I would have got the h100i but it doesn't fit my case. I was looking into the h80i but some people said even a 212 can top that. Maybe a h80i + new fans? In all seriousness I'd rather not get a 212, but if its the best thing that will fit, then that's cool.

My purpose is pretty much gaming, but I'd still like to clock my 4690k past 4.2 even though its not really necessary.

Also, style is definitely a plus. Most of my build is blue so something similar would be nice.

I like this idea, but I don't really understand what makes fans better than others... Ideally if I'm spending 25$ per fan I'd rather them match my case to be blue, not brown though.

Do not compromise your cooling! Get a different case that will accept the H100i or the Noctua NH D14/D15.

I know what you mean, but i grew to like my case a lot and I don't want to see it go for at least a few more years. My problem with the Noctua NH D14/D15 is that it would be like having a full sized football inside my case. Not sure if I want that big guy : /.

Looks pretty cool!, any mounting issues? I'll have to measure my case and see if that's a fit.

It was the easiest mount for any of the Big Air coolers I've owned.
