Hi, I have an i5 8600K overclocked to 4.8 Ghz with a Be Quiet Pure rock 51.7 CFM sleeve bearing CPU cooler, inside an Aero 800 windowed gaming case. What's the best CPU cooler I can fit in this case? (air/water)

Thanks, Ollie.

You're welcome.
....and when you do it....take your time....sometimes they are hard to get to.....and use the right tool. ...and take your time. Rushing causes problems.
I don't think you really need to get very much cooler....maybe 10 degrees.

One quick thing you could do.....is while it's running at 80.....open the case....or just start it up with the case open and see what it runs at.

If the temp goes down a lot....I'd increase the case cooling.

As far as coolers....I'm running this cooler and it cools great but I'm not sure if it will fit your case.

Also....I would check the mounting of your current cooler. It needs to be snug and not move at all when you apply reasonable pressure to it.
 
Ah....I find this quite a bit.

There are usually 4 screws/fasteners at the corners....however make sure you know how your screws work.

Some fasteners you have to push in and turn....others just turn. So I would look at the cooler manual and see what you have.
