So i recently purchased a new system. with that system i got the z170 WS motherboard. this houses a lga 1151 sized chip. i have a intel i7 7700k 4.2ghz. this motherboard for whatever reason is only push pin compatible for the cpu fan. any recommendations?

If you won't oc, anything will do. I like the Cyroig H7, it's affordable and offers 100% RAM clearance.

How much are you willing to spend on it? Screws still work in that board, the nuts and bolts comes the the cooler when you buy it. Also, how much will you OC?

This is probably the best cpu cooler that you could ever get: http://noctua.at/en/nh-d15
I personally get better temps then I have had in the past with closed loop liquid coolers. It also comes with a mount that goes underneath the motherboard to provide screw holes instead of those stupid push pins, I hate those they are garbage and they break easily and never really provide a solid mount on the cpu.
 


overclocking kind of scares me. so probably not at all. i can spend like anywhere up to $100. yea my dad and i figured that out last night after we were thinking

Even if you did OC, you probably wouldn't need to spend $100 on a cooler (unless you want water, which has more potential problems but looks cool)
