Question about be quiet! Dark Rock 4

It says here that the height is 15.94cm. My pc-case indicates a maximum height of 16cm. Is that still possible or is that too little space? Actually, I would really choose this one because I need maximum cooling performance. The Pro version was too high which is why I thought about this one. Thanks in advance for the answer.

Helpful answer

Your question is not easy to answer... On the one hand, it depends on the closure mechanism of the enclosure, but in general it does not matter whether the cooler touches the enclosure. However, far more worrying is that the height of the fan on the cooler can be influenced by the RAM height (depending on MOBO size, number of RAM slots and their occupation). I have a Lian Li TU150, G.skill TridentZ RGB RAM (on an ITX-Mobo) and the DR4. In my configuration, the fan is unfortunately located on the 1st RAM stick. Because of the height of the RAM sticks, the highest point of the cooler in my case is determined by the fan and not the tower and is about 1-2cm above the tower. In my case, the fan is directly against the side window, which can still be closed.
I recommend you search for your configuration on pcpartpicker.com, for example, and you will probably find a build with the same case and fan somewhere.
Next time, please specify the remaining components, so you can specify the answer and make it a bit shorter :D

Hello, the specified height of 15.94cm refers to the Dark Rock 4. If your PC case is 16cm high, this will not fit.
