In the coming months I am planning on delidding my 7700K and upgrading from my 212 evo cooler.

This is my case: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811108407

I don't know much about big air coolers and I've never used a water cooled solution. Would this case accommodate the radiator needed for a water cooler? I know the Noctua big air coolers are supposed to be excellent, but I don't know if they would fit in this case.

I don't really know the best plan of attack here, so any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

P.S.

I would like to get something that is at least moderately quiet. I would be willing to pay ~$100 for the cooler.

If you had no issue with 212's height, you'll have no problem with Noctua's NH-U12S height either.
