I am looking for a fairly small CPU cooler to fit inside my BitFenix Neos Windowed version. The height limit is 155 and I have a intel core i5 with 1150 socket.

Thanks in advance :)

Any top down CPU cooler will easily fit this height restriction.
In a tower cooler you will be limited to a model with a 92mm fan, which is still fine for most system and better than the stock cooler.
From Noctua that could mean the NH-U9B SE2 tower cooler or any NH-C or NH-L model of top down cooler.
Skythe Big Shuriken is a cheaper alternative top down cooler that is very good.

Personally I would use a Cooler Master Hyper TX3 (92mm fan tower style cooler), but if you want as big as you can get - a Thermalright TRUE Spirit 120M(BW) Rev.A (120mm fan tower style cooler) will fit with 10mm to spare.

Here is a link to the Cooler Master Hyper TX3 (it is only $20 before rebates):

And here is one to the Thermalright TRUE Spirit 120M(BW) Rev.A (it is currently out of stock, though, and is $43) :
