I'm currently putting together a major upgrade kit, and I'd like to use the Be quiet! dark rock pro 4. Mainly because it's such a huge block, and I can run it very quietly, and because it looks cool.
The case I have in mind would be the Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 5 (Midi Tower), the specified cpu cooler height is max. 160mm, and the dark rock pro 4 has 162.8 mm.
I just don't know how exactly the case is measured, or whether there would still be some room for manoeuvre. I don't think the motherboard plays a role, but it would be an MSI X470 Gaming Pro (AM4, AMD X470, ATX).

Answer

It would probably fit, but I wouldn't risk it. I'd rather go for a less tall CPU cooler.
