Hello,
Im wondering if I could buy a Be Quiet BK010 Shadow Rock Slim CPU Cooler to overclock my 6600k. I don't want to buy an AIO as I don't want any possibility of a leak.
These are my full specs not including the cooler;
- EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW
- Intel i5-6600K CPU
- Asus Z170-A Motherboard
- Corsair Vengeance 16GB LED Ram
- Samsung 950 Pro 256GB M.2 SSD
- Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX Tempered Glass
Case
- Be Quiet 800W Power Supply

Thank you.

Would the NOCTUA NH-U12S have enough clearance for this kit of ram;

Yes, the s variants were redesigned to handle tall ram heat spreaders and are offset a touch to clear the backplanes of graphics cards in the first slot.
There is 41mm of clearance.
Your ram is 49mm tall.
put the ram in the more distant slots and you are ok.
Here are the specs:
