Well with the 212 out of the question since it's 9mm too tall there's not a lot of tower style coolers to choose from. You could go with a Noctua U9S or Rajintek Aidos, they come in under 140mm (100R can fit up to 150mm). Or you could go with a low profile cooler like the Rajintek Pallas or Noctua C14S.

 

Just some options/examples I found. You could also do a Corsair H60 or other 120mm AIO, that would work also and some are cheaper than low profile heatsinks.

The New Machine: Intel 11700K / Strix Z590-A WIFI II / Patriot Viper Steel 4400MHz 2x8GB / Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC w/ Bykski WB / x4 1TB SSDs (x2 M.2, x2 2.5) / Corsair 5000D Airflow White / EVGA G6 1000W / Custom Loop CPU & GPU

 

The Rainbow X58: i7 975 Extreme Edition @4.2GHz, Asus Sabertooth X58, 6x2GB Mushkin Redline DDR3-1600 @2000MHz, SP 256GB Gen3 M.2 w/ Sabrent M.2 to PCI-E, Inno3D GTX 580 x2 SLI w/ Heatkiller waterblocks, Custom loop in NZXT Phantom White, Corsair XR7 360 rad hanging off the rear end, 360 slim rad up top. RGB everywhere.

Well probably any 240 like the H100 would fit but it will probably take some creative customizing. A 120 would be very simple to install in comparison.

I don't think it's really worth spending that much on a cooler for a 6300.

What about the Cryorig H7? I heard it performs better than the 212 EVO and is 145mm tall, with no RAM clearance issues. As for closed loop liquid coolers, anything with a single 120mm rad would fit on the back.

NEED X58 BOARD WITH SATA3 ASAP

If you're in a country that Cryorig products are available, or you're willing to import this is the option I'd choose.

 

Though a good topflow cooler could work well too. Not sure which I'd recommend though, not a type of cooler I look at all that often.

INTEL CORE i5-7600K | ASUS ROG STRIX B250i GAMING | CRUCIAL BALLISTIX SPORT LT 16GB | EVGA GTX 970 SC | EVGA B3 550W
SAMSUNG 850 EVO 250GB | CRYORIG M9i | BE QUIET! PURE WINGS 2| FRACTAL DESIGN DEFINE NANO S
