Corsair 400Q has 170mm CPU clearance.

Team Group Dark Pro is cc 45.6mm tall, but PCB cover can be removed making them 37mm tall. That translated to about 32mm above CPU or 40mm above motherboard .. low enough most coolers will clear it.

GA-Z270X-Gaming-K5 has 54mm center CPU to near side of RAM socket and 89mm center CPU to near side PCIe socket.

You know this, but others might not.
