What kind of CPU cooler can you put on this? null

I have a NZXT Kraken X52 Rev. 2 AIO on mine. I would venture say that any modern cooler that supports Intel should fit this board. I could be wrong.

Do not put the Corsair H60 AIO. They claim LGA 115x compatibility but the backplate to hold the watercooler to the processor will not fit properly to this motherboard. Please be careful on what AIO you purchase not everything will work due to the above issue and with air-cooler due to the high plastic next to the CPU that covers all the plugs. highlight with ARROWS on the attached image https://bestbuy.ugc.bazaarvoice.com/answers/submit/3545w/ps_photo_preview_ihte6lhf9wxm9pxp6bm9izc7d/photoThumb.jpg

It depends on the case, if you have room for expensive DIY liquid cooler. Or in my case all in one liquid coolers are smaller, can be less expensive.
