I'm building a gaming PC and I was planning on overclocking the i5-6600K but I just can't seem to find the right CPU cooler mostly due to me not knowing if they will fit. I've looked around which led me to choose between these: the CM Hyper 212, Cyorig R1 Ultimate, Cyorig R1 Universal, and the Dark Rock Pro 3. The case I'll be getting is the NZXT S340 ATX mid-tower case. Will all of these coolers fit? How good are these coolers and which would you consider to be the "best" for overclocking (that fits in the case) out of those four? Are there any better ones that are under $100? Thank you to all who answer.

scythe ninja 4 is a great air cooler for the price and it will fit into your case :
but don´t buy it unless you have low profile memory kit .

cryorig H7 is also a great cooler for the price
(better than 212 evo and it is quite short : only 145mm in height)

R1 Ultimate all the way Cryorig's products are genius, but unfortunately it isn't compatible with that case according to pc part picker, so is the universal and the be quiet dark rock pro 3 the only one compatible is the hyper 212 which is the poorest of the 4 I would out of personal experience recommend you to take a look at the Cryorig H5 Ultimate it's currently running my system at 18-23C on light usage, and on 29C when running demanding games or rendering apps, it never once touched the 30C mark, and I don't live in the north pole I live in Egypt and it's currently 40C+ outside
