Hey guys, I am getting the IT-5820K CPU, and need to get a good CPU cooler, but it needs to fit in my case, which is the problem.

The case I have is the NZXT H440, it only has a CPU Cooler clearance of 180mm, but the cooler I was thinking of getting, the Corsair H100i, has a 240mm radiator, so it won't fit it. (Links below)

Any recommendations of what cooler I should get?!?!

According to the case specs, it supports 2x 140mm, so maybe go with cooler master Nepton 280L? Also, may I ask what you're using the 5820k for?

Sure, no problem, I thought it was weird that the H100i wouldn't work, it almost works with any case.
