I desperately need a better / high performance cooler for my build. The stock Intel fan is absolutely useless when I play graphically intensive games. However, I'm looking for a cooler THAT WORKS with my setup, I wanted to get the Corsair H80i v2 for my rig, but strangely some guy said it doesn't work with my current mobo... preferably liquid cooling though, however do you guys mind suggesting some good air coolers too?
Current rig:
Intel i7-7700 non K 3.6GHz and 4.0GHz with turbo boost.
Asus ROG Strix Z270F Gaming motherboard.
Asus nVidia GTX1080 ROG Strix A8G Advanced Edition 8GB GDDR5X.
Coolermaster V650 80plus Gold psu.
( there are other parts like my RAM and storage, but I find that irrelevant with this topic.. )

My case is a mid tower Coolermaster RC-K282 KWN1 Variant, which is the windowed variant instead of the side fan variant. 2 fans are built in the case, 1 on the front of the PC ( I assume this is the intake vent where it grabs all the air, has a dust filter on the front of the fan. ) and 1 in the rear. ( I assume this is where all the hot air comes out... ) So which cooler will work best for my current setup?

Thanks. :wahoo:
 
Solution
Cryorig H7 or H5 Ultimate
Noctua U-12S or U-9S
Deepcool Gammaxx 400

You have a non K chip, so you won't need a real beefy cooler.
