What air cooler should I get?

So I am currently split between two cases, NZXT Noctis 450 and Aerocool P7-C1 Pro, and since I have been building around the Noctis I planned on getting the Cryorig R1 Universal but since the P7-C1 Pro doesn't have enough space for the R1 (http://prntscr.com/gzws85) so for the cases to be on even ground on which one I choose, I need to find a CPU cooler that fits the P7-C1. I previously thought about getting the Dark Rock Pro 3 but this is my first build I don't really want to go through the hassle of that terrible installation the DRP3 has. If you can recommend me any CPU cooler, that would be great.

U14S might be tight. 7-C1 Pro supports up to 165mm height.

It's tight in the figurative sense. Having the cooler near the side panel isn't an issue.

I know. But if there is 1mm factory error in both parts and in wrong way...

It's unlikely that it would prevent the cooler from fitting and I doubt that the heatsink would be an entire 1mm taller. The clearance on the case side is usually underestimated to account for this.

Manufacturing errors can always happen and prevent any other component from being installed in a case. It's not worth worrying too much about.
