This is an interesting question to me.   I was starting to wonder the same thing about my build (different cooler/case though).

 

The dimensions you are giving are 159mm total height of the cooler and the width of the case is 165mm - right?

 

Are you factoring in the mm for the motherboard thickness and the stands off the back of the case?  

 

Just wondering as I am a new builder and have no experience in this area...

That is why I brought it up.  5mm is awful small for the Mobo + stand off if they have to be added to the height of the installed CPU cooler.

First off, the Dark Rock Pro 4 is about 163mm, not 159

Secondly, it will fit. Proof? Example builds from PCPP

But TV! Some of those are the NZXT H500, not the H510! You may say. To which I respond; the only thing that truly changed was the addition of USB-C and a new "Elite" variation. The core frame of the case is pretty much the same.

I have built a PC with these two products, it will work.

Just be sure to plug in the 8 pin EPS before actually placing the board into the case. The CPU cooler is a large tower and doesn't give much space to work on the motherboard when installed in the case.
