I am planning a new build for gaming, programming, and light cad work. I plan on getting a 7700k, an asus z270 - a board, and a gtx 1070. I want to do some overclocking but don't know which cooler to get. I've been looking at the kraken x62 and the cryorig r1 universal. I am just a little worried about leaks with aio coolers and good air coolers are massive. I'd like it to be kind of quiet while providing good cooling. Any help with picking a cooler or any other tips is greatly appreciated.

You just need to be careful if transporting , You can't have it banging around. If your traveling long distances or sending it off somewhere it's best too take the cooler off .I own the Cryorig R1 Ultimate , Noctua D14 and Phanteks PH-TC14PE all huge coolers.

I would suggest the Cryorig R1 or Noctua D15. Both are great air coolers but the D15 is the best for a bit more. Just make sure your case is wide enough to support the taller heatsinks.

I'm just worried about stress on my motherboard. Will this be an issue when transporting or anything?
