Can somebody please advise me a cooler that will fit this:

Raijintek Metis Black
i5-6600K oem
Gigabyte GA-Z170N Gaming 5

I am looking for something that will cope with the 95w tdp of the cpu and also bolt on, as I cannot stand Intel pushpin mounting.

I have been looking all over OCUK and I am stuck. Anyone who has one of these Metis cases I would love to hear about what you have used etc.

Thanks :)

EDIT: Found this cooler on OCUK. Just need to confirm if it will fit lga1151 as it only states 1155, 2011.

The Raijintek Metis is fairly special among ITX cases in that it has relatively ample space for tower coolers, as well. So no need to go for low-profile coolers. I have the copycat of the Metis (Raidmax Atomic) with the ASRock FM2A88X-ITX+ mobo, and I'm using a Noctua NH-U12F, which is 155x126x95mm. I'm using only one fan (120mmx25mm), but there would be enough room for another one. If you are worried about MB component temperatures, then a top-blow cooler should be good, too. Like the Phanteks PH-TC14CS CPU Cooler (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/phanteks-ph-tc14cs-cpu-cooler-blue-hs-008-pt.html).

But then again, my motherboard has the CPU socket right in the middle, so not sure how your particular MB would fare with the width and length dimensions. But in any case, the HEIGHT is usually not a problem, so you don't have to confine yourself to low-profile coolers.

As for 1151 vs. 1150, 1155, 1156:
They all use the same mounting hole dimensions. So cooler-wise, they should all be compatible with each other.
 
I using a Big Shuriken 2 B in my Metis. Temps are really low and plenty of room with heatsink. Used it with an APU and now an Intel Skylake and on both it has been awesome.

In fact i have 2 of these Heatsinks now as i went and bought one as my wife went and ordered me one without me knowing! Lol

The APU had a TDP of 95 and the intl i have now is around 55 i believe. Can highly recommend this heatsink with a Metis.
