Deepcool Assassin III Air CPU Cooler

It fit my intel 1151 bracket and comes with a variety of different mounting adapters.
Great Cooler. Very happy with it. Good size of this one.
Nice size for my case. The best cooler.
The brackets are very big so make sure they can fit!
This cooler is huge. Takes up most of the space between my motherboard and case.

be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 CPU Cooler

Looks good for the size. Very quiet fans.
This is a monster size air cooler. Doesn't have any issue about size or weight.
Make sure to have enough space for your ram and the case itself. It's huge size.
The install and size are the only cons.
The size of this CPU cooler can interfere with RAM and it makes it kind of difficult to work with when working inside the case.
