i don't know if the cooler will ft in the case. Just need to know if anyone knows if it will fit or if i should return one of the items for another.

If you have the case and the cooler, then measuring should be easy.

 

If you've got a spare motherboard too, then you can use that to compensate for the height of the motherboard.

TBH I'm not sure. Your case has 160mm of clearance for the cooler. The cooler is 166 according to cooler master. But the heatsink height is 158. I guess you'll just have to try.

 

Worst comes to worst you can just return one and buy a different cooler/case.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

It won't fit. The extra 8mm comes from top plate and how fans are. It can fit without top plate, maybe. Fans probably still go over 158mm, but not so much that it would be huge issue.
