No idea. But yours would fit similarly.
Out of teh AIO i prefer the plain h110i http://pcpartpicker.com/product/3XyxFT/corsair-cpu-cooler-cw9060026ww
Though, i find this to be teh most bad-ass looking cooler and it performs on par wiht th AIOs and nh-d15.

That being said, pumpless AIO coolers are on teh horizon so fingers crossed for that :)

What CPU is this for? AiO coolers often perform no better than high-end air coolers, but are more expensive, louder, and more prone to failure; the pumps ALL eventually die, and most only last a few years, tops.

If it's something like a 6700K, it's pointless because even an entry-level 120mm tower cooler will keep the CPU within reasonable temperatures at maximum overclock - you'll get into unsafe voltage territory before heat becomes a problem. Intel's 14nm process sips power, and so its cooling needs are really low too.

None of the above. AiO liquid coolers perform worse than equivalently priced air coolers, and are prone to failure. I consider them poor choices, unless you are unable to use a traditional tower heatsink (e.g. in a low profile or small form factor case).

This cooler would be an excellent inexpensive choice that would easily keep your CPU cool under heavy overclocking:

This cooler matches or even surpasses the very best AiO watercoolers, for less money, and doesn't have a noisy or unreliable pump.

You're not forced to take my advice. I'm just advising you not to buy an AiO watercooler, because they perform worse than similarly priced air coolers, are more noisy, and are prone to failure. If you're fine with the idea that you're spending unnecessary money on a cooler that performs worse and will eventually have its pump die and become useless, I'll happily pick one for you.

Of those coolers, I recommend the $60 H55 Quiet:

http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Hydro-Quiet-Liquid-Cooler/dp/B009VV56TY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1465261286&sr=8-1&keywords=h55+quiet

My reasoning: It's among the least expensive, and the cooling requirements for the 6700K are very low. A $20 tower cooler would work as well, but this is one of the coolers you've listed. When the pump dies, it will be the least expensive to replace. Also, since it's advertised as "Quiet", hopefully the included pump is not as noisy as in other AiO coolers.
