So, I am thinking of buying an NZXT Source 210 Elite Case, it says that it's cpu heatsink clearance is 160mm, will a 161mm heatsink fit? I am really paranoid. o_O :??:

Note: Heatsink will be a DeepCool IceBlade Pro V.2

Cheers! :)

You can probably "force" it to fit, but personally, I would not want additional pressure placed on my m/b. If you really want to stick with the 210, you need to look at a low-rise cooler.

I wouldn't. Imagine this...if the heatsink clearance in the particular case you get is actually 159.5mm, instead of the advertised 160, due to manufacturing differences. Then you're even more screwed.

I'm not saying that is the case. But even a little difference the wrong way makes things even worse.
Find a different case or cooler.
