You can't OC with that setup.

CPU is locked and H110's don't OC.

sorry XD I was kinda tired when I posted this but what cooler would you recommend

Since you can't OC LOOK INTO A Cryorig C7.

I would recommend using the stock cooler that comes with the processor. However if you really want an aftermarket cooler, you can't go wrong with the legendary cooler master hyper 212 evo.

I5-6500 comes with a stock cooler that performs adequately.\Particularly in a nice case like yours.
The main reason for an aftermarket cooler is to lower noise when the cpu is under load.
The stock 92mm fan can get noisy.
I might suggest the scythe kotetsu, a $35 cooler.

With an 88R, you can fit pretty reasonably sized CPU coolers in there. There's the Pure Rock Slim mentioned above, Noctua U9S (D9L if you prefer that dual-tower look), Hyper TX3 and the evo version, Cryorig M9i, Arctic i11, Raijintek Aidos, Scythe Katana, etc. If you like the look of the low-profile downdraft coolers, there's the Silverstone AR06 and NT-06, Noctua NH-L9x65 and NH-L12 and NHC14S, Cryorig C7, and the Deepcool... Gabriel, was it?
