So I've been looking to buy a cooler such as a dark rock pro 4, but I've noticed that pcpartpicker marks this cooler (and others I've tried) as not being compatible. I know that there isn't much space in the case, but I honestly have no idea how big this cooler is. Any advice is appreciated.

The spec doesn't account for the side panel bump which at least allows for coolers up to 160mm such as the Hyper 212 LED here: https://pcpartpicker.com/builds/by_part/2tTrxr#h=515

That still wouldn't be enough for the DRP4 though. 

 

Any reason you're looking at the DRP4 in particular instead of the recommendations from your previous thread?
