Specs:
- ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING
- i5-6500
- Currently an intel stock cooler

I would like to know if it will fit. According to Corsair's website, the max cpu cooler height is 156 mm, but I don't think they accounted for the side panel giving around 1-2 cm extra. Thanks in advance.

EDIT1: And what about the H5 Universal or Dark Rock 3?

EDIT2: According to http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3079624/corsair-spec-alpha-cpu-cooler-compatibility.html a hyper 212 x (158 mm) will fit in there.

I've got an older BIOS for the PRO GAMING, this lets me overclock the BCLK as much as I want. Proof: http://imgur.com/a/acw5o. As I already stated in my question, I don't think they accounted for the extra space you get with the "dented" sidepanel.
