I wanted to buy the cooler master MA410P heatsink for my cpu because the stock one is overheating my cpu slightly. The CPU i use is an i5 8400 and my motherboard is the Gigabyte H370 Aorus gaming 3 wifi (rev1.0), and the case i use is the Rosewill Nautilus. On their website it says 154 mm cpu fan size supported however the one i want to get is 158.8 mm. but the case has 194mm width, so im a little confused.

While the entire case is 194mm wide, the cooler is on top of the CPU, which is a couple mm above the motherboard which is placed on standoffs that are screwed into the back plate, so you really don't have the entire 194mm to work with. So, from the top of the CPU to inside of the case side is 154mm (per specs) and I would guess the 158.8 mm tall cooler will probably be hitting the side of the case. Of course, you can always run your computer with the side off. Not the prettiest or safest, but it does let a lot of fresh air in.
