What is the single most powerful and efficient CPU air cooler that money can possibly buy right now?

Will it fit onto an LGA 1151 socket?

Noctua NH D15 is the current flagship for Air Coolers.

Does it come in black or any other color?

I would get the Cryorig R1.
Right at the same performance with much better looks.

Mine is working really well. It is efficient enough that it can also function in passive mode with no fan.
I also have the optional rubber duct to connect the passive CPU cooler to the case fan.
The 140mm fan is super quiet because I barely have it spinning at all.
$50
