Yes, there should be around 15 millimeters of clearance

 

I can't believe no one is replying to simple questions like these, it's really frustrating

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

It's not like it had a lot of views before you replied. The answer is fairly inaccurate too.

 

According to BeQuiet's site the Dark Rock Pro 3 is 163mm high, according to Corsair's site the 450D's maximum cooler height is 165mm.   That leaves you with 2mm to spare. 

As a result of that, you will not be able to slide the outside CPU fan upwards, which means that RAM clearance might be an issue if you use RAM sticks with heatsinks.
