Hi! I have the p400A case with a 160mm CPI cooler clearance, would I be able to fit a dark rock pro 4 in there? I know the specs say it is like 2 mm too large, but I assume there is some headroom that the manufacturers built in. Otherwise, I was thinking of a scythe fuma 2 as a replacement. Thanks!

I mean if you shoved the side panel/window on it might flex the board back by 2mm if you managed to fit it, but Id rather be safe than sorry and get something thats within spec

CPU: i5-4690k @ 4.4 GHz | RAM: 12GB DDR3 1333MHz | GPU: Sapphire Pulse RX 580 4GB
