Need recommendations for a <=155mm tower cooler for overclocking.

Soooo, my I rused my case study (case joke) and my case won't accommodate most tower coolers because it's width is too small. So I was hoping someone could point me to a high quality/performance cpu cooler under 155mm.

I don't wanna go downdraft because in such a thin case that air has to come from somewhere and the cpu is right under a window (rather than a vent). If I have to I will cut out the window and just let a taller cooler poke out but i was trying to avoid that.

Finally, if all else fails, water cool?

i think this would be good http://goo.gl/EQGbC Depends on your cpu im not sure what kind of oc you will get. Not very high maybe 4.2 or 4.4ghz on intel. You could get an h80i or thermaltake water 2.0 pro.
My favorite air cooler is 4mm to high.....anyway to get that to fit? This: http://goo.gl/ALvnk ill look for more options 😉
EDIT: i think this would fit well, http://goo.gl/r7Tvz
It's from noctua so i will be high quality and silent.
Ps what is your full system specs including possible radiator mounts

Google c tyPe CPU coolers there not a tall as a tower. You can flip the fan so that the fan blows down or away from the cooler. Also google htpc CPU coolers there few new min tower coolers out there.
