I am building in a Cooler Master Elite 130 case and using a full size PSU so my clearance for a CPU cooler is only 64mm I want to stay at or below 58mm for air flow. I am using an i5 6500 and I wanted a cooler that was better then the stock cooler it came with. I was originally looking at the Scythe BIG Shuriken 2 Rev. B but I did not like how the cooler covers the RAM and most of the Mobo. I was then looking at the CRYORIG C7 but I don't like that I can not flip the fan so it pulls air up and through the cooler instead of pushing air down. From what I've researched pushing air down can cause a loop where the air goes back up and then gets sucked back through the fan again. So I am feeling that the best cooler for me is the Silverstone AR06 what does everyone think I'm open to opinions I don't want to do water cooling I can only fit a 120mm rad. In there and I've seen that the temps are not much different from air coolers. Also if I do go with the AR06 I want to do something about that fan it comes with. My color scheme is red and black even though I know you can't see it in the case I know it's there plus when I show it off to people it's like pulling the hood up on your car it's got to look good
