Eyeballing it, I think a 212 will fit. If you're still scared about the size though, Cooler Master has a T2 cooler for like 17$ 

 

That case will take a 150mm cooler.  A 212 Evo is out because it's 159mm tall.

 

The Cooler Master T2 is only 140mm tall, so that would fit fine and is very cheap.

 

A Cryorig H7 is only 145mm tall, so that will fit and costs like $35.  Great cooler, although a bit fiddly to mount.

SFF-ish:  Ryzen 5 1600X, Asrock AB350M Pro4, 16GB Corsair LPX 3200, Sapphire R9 Fury Nitro -75mV, 512gb Plextor Nvme m.2, 512gb Sandisk SATA m.2, Cryorig H7, stuffed into an Inwin 301 with rgb front panel mod.  LG27UD58.

 

Aging Workhorse:  Phenom II X6 1090T Black (4GHz #Yolo), 16GB Corsair XMS 1333, RX 470 Red Devil 4gb (Sold for $330 to Cryptominers), HD6850 1gb, Hilariously overkill Asus Crosshair V, 240gb Sandisk SSD Plus, 4TB's worth of mechanical drives, and a bunch of water/glycol.  Coming soon:  Bykski CPU block, whatever cheap Polaris 10 GPU I can get once miners start unloading them.

 

MintyFreshMedia:  Thinkserver TS130 with i3-3220, 4gb ecc ram, 120GB Toshiba/OCZ SSD booting Linux Mint XFCE, 2TB Hitachi Ultrastar.  In Progress:  3D printed drive mounts, 4 2TB ultrastars in RAID 5.

You could try something like a Deepcool Gammaxx 300 or 200T. Both are pretty cheap and pretty short for a vertical cooler. I'm still running the 300 on my 2500K because it does a great job of keeping up.

The Gammaxx 300 is also a good cooler.  I use one on an i5 and it does great cooling it!  The fan made an annoying electronic switching noise though, so I ended up replacing that, and it's been super-quiet ever since.

I've never noticed any noise with mine, it could have been a bad fan from the factory.

 

When replacing the fan did you get a 90mm fan? The mounting bracket is not a full 120mm.

I used a standard 120mm case fan.  Foam pads and glue may have been involved. :)
