Seeking assistance finding a suitable CPU cooler for your Cooler Master Elite 130, compatible with an Intel Core i7-16700K and capable of supporting an OC4.5 CPU. Also looking for a model that works well with the Asus Z170i Pro Gaming Mini ITX.

That’s the final step before pushing it to 4.5.
OP The Coolermaster elite can accommodate a radiator for a liquid cooler. If you’re planning to overclock, I strongly suggest using a 120 radiator cooler like the Corsair H80i—it should fit perfectly in your case.

Looking at the details...
For a 6700K? Probably not. I'm using a 3570K with a Noctua NH-L9i, and pushing that high isn't possible.
