Air cooler for R5 1600 OC?

So currently I own an FX8350 on the stock cooler, but I want to replace it because it's just loud af.

 

But I plan to upgrade to the R5 1600 which I plan to overclock.

The air cooler needs to be under 120mm (I have the corsair air240 case)

 

Is there any low profile air coolers that are worth buying that I can overclock when I get the 1600, or do I buy an aIO 240mm instead of a low profile cooler?

the r5 1600 comes with a wraith spire cooler

Is that enough to overclock with?

Yes, you should be able to get a around 3.8ghz overclock, however, this is based on others experience, I do not personally own one

It comes with the 1600, so if you are not satisfied, you can always get a new cooler :)

the included one?

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

If you're in America or have a way of getting a Cryorig C7 that could be a decent option aside from the stock Ryzen fan. 

It's 47mm high.

Possibly, I've heard it's bad though

Can confirm: Stable (like 1 hour of handbrake) 3.7 @ 1.275 volts temps at low 70s under that handbrake test very rarely past 62 or 63c just with the Wraith Cooler under gaming and editing/rendering with Hitfilm express

 

Can even do 3.8 but I don't want to put too much stress on my mobo (not the greatest VRM solution so better not crack 1.3v) but the Wraith can still handle that.
