Large air coolers in 101C or 303C chassis

[michty_me]

Hello all,

I'm new to the forums and about to purchase a 101C or 303C chassis over the next couple of days.
I'm looking at keeping my system (New Zen 2) air cooled and decided on a fairly large cooler for maximum effect. I've noticed on a couple of other forums, The members have stated that even though the official max cpu height for the 101C/303C states it is 160mm, Some are claiming to be fitting in Thermalright Macho Rev B and BeQuiet! Dark rock pro 4 air coolers into them although these are noted as being 162-163mm.

I would potentially be looking at getting a Dark rock pro 4 cooler, Can anyone confirm if this would indeed fit in a 101C/303C chassis?

We usually provide a little extra space than the listed numbers. However, this will be a tight fit if it fits at all. It may touch the glass. Just be aware of this if you decide to order.

Hi and thanks for taking the time to reply.
ill maybe give it a try. I can't find any other cases that catch my eye and quite like the black cooler so may take the risk.
I'll update once I get parts fitted.
