CPU cooler suggestions for 3930K

[DeauteratedDog]

Hello all.

I have a PC that I put together several years ago. It has always run a little hot and I have always planned to upgrade the CPU cooler., It looks like that time is here - A hard drive failed and I need to replace it, so this is a good time to upgrade the cooler.

Relevant Specs:
CPU: 3930K at stock clock.
TDP: 130 W
Socket: LGA 2011
Motherboard: Asus P9X79-WS
Case: Silverstone TJ04-E
Max cooler height for case: 168 mm

Would something like the Noctua NH-U14S be OK? I'd like to avoid the huge two tower coolers, but I don't want to have to do this again.

Thanks all.

noctua always makes good coolers so you cant really go wrong there. if you want a water cooler then go with the h100i from corsair. if you want a cheaper option then the hyper 212 evo is always a good choice.
