Cases often give a maximum cooler height clearance. For example, the Corsair Obsidian 450D gives a cooler height max of 165mm.
Now my question is - do you compare that number directly against the listed height number that coolers give? Or is it a measurement from the socket, or the top of the CPU, or the motherboard, or what?
In practical terms, would that case (165mm) fit a hyper 212 evo (159mm)?
