Well, good ole https://noctua.at/en/nh-d15 is practically best conventional air cooler it's just a question of it fitting in your case. It also depends on may factors as amount OF OC and voltages needed to reach it. De-lidded processor would also help a lot for 5GHz.

As CountMike say the Noctua NH D15 is the very best in air coolers but I would not right of AIO's as they are a great option. I have been using AIO's from the earliest days and luckily I have never had an issue and the cooling is right up there, especially 240/280/360mm AIO's. As to 5GHz, it depends on your 8700K, mine can do 5GHz without a delid though the temps are more than I am comfeterble with so I stick with a 4.9GHz which is great on thermals (70's max lead in Aida/Prime etc.) and the vcore I use though I am cooling with the Corsiar H150i 360mm AIO.

Hi jdm21,
You can look at the dark rock pro 3 or 4 or the NH D15.
Those are the best dual tower ai cooler you can get.
About overclocking :
Let everything on auto,
then stress test and note your voltage and frequency and put them manually in bios.
Then you have two path to follow :
1°/ Better performance :
Bump your multiplier until it's not stable then bump voltage (increments of 0.025-0.05V)
Once you've reach the frequency you want, lower the voltage as much as you can as long as it remains stable.
2°/ Better thermals (undervolting)
Keep stock frequency and reduce voltage as much as you can until it's not stable.

I just got done testing the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240R RGB and it is surprisingly good performing for an AIO, even doing slightly better than some 360's. I am about to start testing the ID Cooling Dashflow 240, which looks very well made in person, even using real compression fittings on the tubing ends.
I am also a big fan (pun intended) of the Dark Rock 4 and Dark Rock Pro 4 (even the Dark Rock Pro 3) as they are some of the most exceptionally well-built air coolers I have seen or tested. They have build quality and construction that is just unbelievably well done.
