I asked Corsair how much room I'll have on my Case between CPU and Side panel. But they can only measure between standoffs of MB and the panel as that can't measure other companies products (I'll have gigabytes h170m-d3h).

Apparently it's 16.5cm from standoffs to side panel.
So take away a couple cm, let's say 12-13cm for an aftermarket cooler. I think the common h7, h5 and 212 Evo will be just too large be a couple of cm unfortunately. Any suggestions (under £40, £50 at max)

You're 100% sure. So I'm not gonna buy a new cooler and then have it be 5mm too large?
