Hello. I am looking for a CPU cooler to cool my 9700k (Socket LG1151). I will be lightly-medium overclocking the CPU, so I think above 130 TDP is needed. And I also need to fit the cooler in my case, as it's maximum height limit is 158 mm.
What cooler should I get?

Thanks :)

I much like your case.
For good cooling, concentrate on front air intake with 3 of your 120mm fans.
Whatever comes in the front will exit somewhere, taking component heat with it.
Use at most a single rear 120mm fan as exhaust.

If you use any more, it will draw in unfiltered air from adjacent openings reducing the cleansing effect of front air filters.
