I'm not 100%, but I'd say from where the CPU cool meets the CPU would be the safest bet, so from right here (pointing because I didn't want to shut my computer off)
So I measured 6.375 inches and converted it to mm which equals to 161 mm.


Right about on that 6 3/8 mark


I have a feeling I'm doing something wrong, lol.
EDIT: Thank you for taking the time to help. It's greatly appreciated! :)

Okay, according to that chart it should fit with about 3mm to spare (which is almost nothing. I would cross reference that chart to maybe CM's website (or somewhere else) to see if the dimensions are correct. If they are right, I would go with a smaller CPU cooler, I think you'd be cutting it a little close. And no problem :)

You think I should go with the Hyper T4 since it's a little smaller?
