Like Nup has said, 165 mm. In my 450D I've fitted a Noctua NH-D14 (160mm) with no problems at all.

PC SPECS: CPU: Intel Core i7 3770k @4.4GHz - Mobo: Asrock Extreme 4 (Z77) - GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 680 Twin Frozr 2GB - RAM: Crucial Ballistix 2x4GB (8GB) 1600MHz CL8 + 1x8GB - Storage: SSD: Sandisk Extreme II 120GB. HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB - PSU: be quiet! Pure Power L8 630W semi modular  - Case: Corsair Obsidian 450D  - OS: Windows 7

It's 166.5 mm tall, so 0.15 cm too tall. If you don't already have the case, I could test on mine if the side panel could be pushed out just that last bit.

Can the cooler master V8 High Performance CPU cooler fit?

 

Seems its just one millimeter too tall! 

 

You may want to search for people who tried this.. maybe it fits with a bit fo a push, probably not worth it, it may break the plastic or warp it. 

Bleigh!  Ever hear of AC series?
