Ok so I have the Fractal Design Define Nano S mini ITX case and the EVGA Z170 stinger motherboard. The cooler I am looking to get is the thermalright macho x2 with a height of 162mm. However, the case says the maximum cooler clearance is 160mm. It's just 2mm so I should be able to sqeeze it in right? And will the cooler be compatible with any RAM sticks? Pcpartpicker says it's all compatible but idk how accurate it is. Thanks for the help!
 
Solution
There are coolers under 162mm of height, something like the Cryorig H7 and Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo (Or Equiv).

But anyway, there is probably an extra headroom on the height, probably another 5mm or 10mm, so if you want to risk it, then be my guest, but you could go with a safe option like the ones above.

What CPU do you have?
