Can't seem to find air cpu cooler that definitely fits msi x99a sli plus w/ i7-5820k

I've looking for an aftermarket AIR cooler for a new pc i'm building, but can't seem to find any reliable information on what I should get. I've heard of Noctua NH-U14S being good but I've read that that won't fit with this motherboard.

Everyone recommends the corsair H110i, but as I said I would really prefer air cooling. I appreciate any recommendations, thanks in advance.

It's going to be hard finding a decent setup for a 5820k, they can run quite hot. You probably should consider liquid cooling...
If not there's the CRYORIG R1 Ultimate, DEEPCOOL Gamer Storm Lucifer V2, and the noctua NH D15.

Liquid cooling tho..

These should be compatible with the MB, but I would double check any one you are interested in.

Noctua has an exhaustive list of compatible MB's for all of their coolers. The U14S is compatible with the MSI X99A SLI PLUS. It's at the VERY BOTTOM of this list:
