Using a 3700X right now, and want to upgrade to 5900X,  I have to pick a air cooler that is under 6cm, anyone have a recommend?

For small height coolers, I recommend a 140mm radiator. You are going to want a lot of surface area that something like a Noctua L9i won't provide, even as capable of a cooler as it is, it won't handle 12 cores.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Just to add to @Fasauceome. The L12s, the L9's bigger brother struggled with my 5800x until I did a lot of PBO adjustments and knee capped it.

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

The best options for <60mm are three groups of coolers with some custom fans (or certain ones with stock fans with reduced performance):

 

A) 47mm height fans with a 92mm slim (13-15mm) fan underneath and/or or 120mm on top (13-15mm), or

B) 36mm height fans with a 92mm full height (25mm) fan on top. I'll explain the pros & cons and details of both below, and option

C) a Hybrid option of the first two using a slim (13-15mm) fan on top instead of the 92mm full size.

 

Don't pay attention to the overwhelming choice, it's an illusion, the only reason I listed all currently available options in existence was for the sole purpose so you (OR me, or anyone else) could run down them in order written and check what's available in shops you buy stuff from, and what you might discount based on aesthetics. This way it'd be easy to just trim the list drastically. (If you could write shops/websites where you usually buy from, whether you're ok ordering from china directly from aliexpress/taobao, or at least in what country you would buy these).

EU availability above has a really nice comparison to check how each looks.

 

Here we go xD

 

Option A) using a 47mm heatsink only height (6x6mm heatpipe, coldplate), top-down coolers like (With No.1 probably being the best performer/option, and 2-4 equal in second place):

 

1. Jonsbo HX6200D Black (HX6200D White ARGB) 

2. Alpenfoehn Black Ridge

3. ID-Cooling IS-47k

4. ID-Cooling IS-60 EVO ARGB

 

Option B) using a 36/32mm heatsink only height (4x6mm heatpipe, coldplate), top-down coolers like (With 1-2 being the best option due to full copper):

 

1. Thermalright AXP-90R FULL [FULL in name means all copper/graphite coated black copper].

2. Thermalright AXP-90 X47 FULL (FULL Black) [FULL in name means all copper/graphite coated black copper].

3. Thermalright AXP-90R (Gray versions)

4. Thermalright AXP-90 X47 (normal Black/White/Gray versions)

5. Thermalright AXP-90 X36 (Black/White/Gray versions)

6. Jonsbo HP-400 (Black/Blue and a last resort I would skip if nothing else is available).

 

Option C) using a 36/38mm height (4x6 mm heatpipe, FULL copper/FULL copper graphite coated black, coldplate), top-down coolers like:

 

1. Thermalright AXP-90 X47 Full [FULL in name means all copper/graphite coated black copper]

2. Thermalright AXP-90 X53 Full Black [FULL in name means all copper/graphite coated black copper]

3. Thermalright AXP-90 X53 Black (normal Black/Gray versions).

 

Don't mind that some of these cooler + seperate fan combinations shoot over 60mm by a few millimeters, I've taken that into account, and it will be fine with some caveats, which I'll mention for a trimmed list. And yes for all except 2 combinations I've listed you'll probably have to tone down the 5900x a bit depending on your case and case fans like @IkeaGnomementioned.
