I recently gathered the parts for my build and found that the Swiftech H240-x would not fit in the Phantom 410 (although it should be compatible with 280mm).
So now I'm leaning towards an air cooler- what would you all recommend?
Ive been looking at the nh-d15 but would prefer something that matches the rest of the build better.

Specs-
4790k
Maximus VII Hero
G.Skill X Series 2x8gb
MSI Twin Frozr GTX 980 SLI
NZXT Phantom 410

Thanks!

Anything Noctua is worth buying. They just came out with a smaller sized cooler. I personally have the NH-U14S and its fantastic, keeping my i7 4770k at a cool 40-45 degrees under load (overclocked to 4ghz). Choose one and click 'buy'.

from cheap to more expensive.I kept the max hight under 160mm,for what i remember does that case have a limited hight regarding cpu coolers.
