I am looking to get a new cooler for my PC, I was looking at the corsair h100i v2 but the water cooling aspect has me a little on edge (I don't know if I could install it then leave it for 6 months and check it then leave it) so I was wondering what would be the best type of cooler to get, as I have no idea personally so I was wondering what your guys input is. RAM Clearance is a big worry for my for example if I got a big air cooler.

14nm skylake runs cool.
No exotic cooling is required.
Even if you overclock, you will run out of safe vcore before you really run into thermal limits.
A simple tower type air cooler with a 120mm fan will do the job.
Scythe Kotetsu, cryorig H7, cm hyper212 are all about $35.

A noctua NH-U14s is about the best there is.

My main problem is my ram clearance as at the time I bought 16gb of the Corsair red LED ram sticks. I was worried that the clearance wouldn't be enough if I got the 212 Evo.

Then, Look at the noctua NH-U12s or NH-U14s.
the s variants were redesigned to clear high ram sticks.
They also are offset a bit so that graphics cards in the first pciex16 slots do not interfere.

NH-D15s is also a possibility, but, it is very large and really not needed.

Go to the noctua web site for details and dimensions.
