Carbide 330R and V8 GTS V2 cooler

[sof006]

How compatible are these together? I am checking PC Part Picker website and it seems to suggest they're fine together. How accurate is this website, I want to get a quieter cooler for my PC as my H100i isn't as quiet as i'd like it to be.

Doesn't seem like they are compatible. Corsair lists specs of 160mm max cooler height for the case. The cooler appears to be 166mm tall.

The tech specs give it a 163mm height. Still too tall. Just look for cooler height or dimensions in the technical specs of any cooler. I look up the product on the manufacturer's website, it's where the most accurate info on size will be.
