Best cooler for Sabertooth X79

I am doing a build for a friend, and we are looking for a CPU cooler for this motherboard. We purchased a xigmatek aegir, which is not fitting properly without the brackets, and we are unable to get in touch with the company to get the hardware. So at this point I'm looking for a cooler that is known to work well this motherboard, I've been eyeing the corsair H60, but she would prefer against liquid cooling (paranoia).

priorities are first and foremost ease of installation, second price per cooling power.
we will NOT be over clocking this unit, just using it for general gaming.

thanks!
