i7 4770k (stock)
h100i
16gb 2.4mhz cas 10
gtx 780 ghz edition (gigabyte)
rm850

*re-applied thermal paste many times. (The only thing I didnt do. its to remove backplate and put rub because they say h100i looses on 1150 chipset). I didnt do that because the cm690 iii its closing 2 screws so I have to take off whole system and I dont have time.
Well my problem is that cpu goes really high on gaming.. it hits like 60c and the top of the tower get really hot. I decided to change h100i(prolly broken) to air cooler since I do not plan overclock anytime soon. (last prime was 87c)
Im about to change case too because the coolermaster 690 III I got its kinda hard to remove cooler. I have to remove whole system anyway its pretty big for no reason.

So I want to me to suggest a new case (silent) and good cpu cooler(silent) since the case its next to monitor I dont want any noise. Thank you!

P.S. If the cooler it's too huge, is it worth to remove top of my ram(heatsink) I got trident x and its pretty huge, so I have to unscrew top. there will be an issue?

Thanks again!

I get that, just wanted to know where the RAM was on your motherboard.

But this will do. This is probably the best cooler to use at quiet speeds. It's ugly, but it works.
