Are there any good low profile heat sinks that i could overclock with? I just need a cooler that is 42mm or less.

I'm just looking for micro atx cases that will support bulky coolers such as the dark rock pro 4 or the noctua nh-15, multiple reccomendations would be nice as I like variety. I really need a case that has excellent airflow, i dont need a case for RGB or tempered glass.

What if I threw a Wraith stealth cooler on a 2600(not X variant) and overclocked it to it's max and had Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut as my paste, would it effectively transfer heat from my cpu in a efficient manner? Or is my heat transfer limited by my heatsink and not by my thermal paste?
