Hello, I am looking for a CPU cooler for this build.
Here is my case:
http://www.aerocool.us/pgs/pgs-b/x1_black.htm
Dimensions are:
Chassis Dimensions 482mm (H) x 190mm (W) x 475mm (D)
Carton Dimension 537mm (H) x 249mm (W) x 540mm (D)

And it mentions the max cpu cooler height as 158mm.

And I need a CPU Cooler that will fit in here for the i5 6600k (keep in mind I may overclock).
I don't mind if it is air or water cooled.

Finally, a quick question is whether the Cooler Master Seidon CPU 120V R2 will fit in the case?

Thankss


 
Solution
Yes. The Cooler master Seidon 120V R2 will fit in the Aerocool case. If you go with that cooler, that is your cpu cooler.

Another good cpu cooler (air cooler, not liquid) is the Cryorig H7.
Click on the build link below, then "Choose a CPU Cooler"... Use the filters on the left to help you out. For a 120mm water cooler setup, look toward the NZXT X31 or the Corsair H80i GT. Your case is limiting you with the fairly low clearance for an air cooler, but there are options. The Cryoirg H7 Garilia recommended is good if you can find it, also check out the Noctua NH-U12S or Scythe Mugen 4.
