Like the title states, recommend to me the best air coolers not taller than 155mm

Probably the Hyper 212 EVO, god i hate that thing.

 

Edit: The Scythe Scythe SCRT-1000 is a good choice if you can find somewhere that sells it.

Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

I don't think it performs that well, am I wrong?

Probably the Hyper 212 EVO, god i hate that thing.

That 212 is really good but it's 159mm and I don't think I can get scythe's in my country

Cooler Master hyper t4 probably fits. It's reasonable but not as good as a 212.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

NH-C14 is not bad as well.

 

There are many reviews out there and some of these Noctuas perform really good, if compared to 160mm+ coolers.

That T4 may be the best option, it just fits at 152.3mm plus the fan looks slimmer than others - just need to analyze performance first :)

Nah, it gets about 3 degrees higher temps than the U14S. I forgot about the C14. I would get that like BaSkA recommended. The NH-C14 is great and it's 130mm tall with the top fan on. 

 

It performs just slightly worse than the NH-D15.

That sounds good, I'll look into it
