Hi I am considering upgrading my current case to this model, my only question is, will a Hyper 212 EVO heat sink fit in this case once it is mounted?

Yes I have the Obsidian 550D with an ASrock Z77 Extreme 4, i5 3570k CPU and Hyper 212 EVO. It fits easily with plenty of space left over. I also have it installed with the very tall Corsair Vengeance memory modules. For best clearance I have the Evo orientated so it is blowing out the back of the case. This avoids the ram slots but also is the best orientation for the Obsidian as by design you don't really want to uncover the top case vent, it is covered for sound proofing.

Yes, On my wife's 550D, I put a Phanteks PH TC 14PE ,which is 6.75 inches from face of motherboard to top of cooler. I did not have room for a 200mm Bitfenix Pro on the side door however. This is mounted on an ASUS Formula Z motherboard.

Yes. This box is wider than several competitors. Double check the case dimension against your fan dimension (plus your mobo). I did a corsair hydro cooler in mine. This box is perfect for liquid coolers since you can mount fans / radiator to the top of the box.

Hi Mario, it should fit with no issue. I am currently using a NH-D14 heatsink in mine with plenty of clearance, which is larger than the Hyper 212 EVO.

i cant look at it right now, but compare the dimensions. this case is small as fuark so i would be shy of putting any aftermarket in, but even then. you could always cut out a little area to make your cooler fit with a little coming out of the side.

If you are talking about the Fractal Design Define R4, it's compatible with a heat sink of 170mm in height (when no fan is installed on the side panel). Here is the dimensions of the HeatSink 134 x 140 x 160 mm (without fan)159 x 140 x 171 mm (with Dual Fans). So in my opinion I think it's going to be a little bit of a tight fit, you will also need low profile ram too otherwise the cooler won't fit (well that's what happened to me). If I were you I'd look at other heatsinks first and consider this one as a back up.

If the 212 evo fits a 120 mm fan then I think so .I am using the fans on a H100i.

Read at the bottom here maybe this will help. http://www.coolermaster.com/case/lan-box-haf-series/haf-xb-evo/

yes but the stock heatsink is not all to great. on my system with the stock cooler the temps were from 45-80 C. I bought a hyper tx3 from cooler master and now my temps stay from 35-55 C. Maybe look into getting a hyper 212 evo for like $30. its a really good cpu though very good for gaming.

IDK if this heatsink with also work for that processor but I use a Cooler Master Hyper 212 on an i7 and it has about 2cm of clearance for the case wall.

As I have purchased these (I have 1155) I believe the mounting bracket will fit. My friend has an h100 and that fit in his new 1150 mobo (and that didn't list it's compatibility). This is a good cooler if you don't like the look of the Noctua line. Phanteks also has great customer support. Hope this answers any bother questions you have. I'm happy with my cooler. (don't forget to put the ram in first if you choose to have a fan on that side)

Hello friend I have a heatsink like this: Corsair Vengeance Airflow Memory Cooling Fan CMYAF your device is compatible to be mounted?

It should, especially if you do not mount a side fan. The case has a particularly wide clearance because its side panels flare out. It probably has more clearance than most.I installed a Hyper 212 EVO in one.

Yep! I have a Hyper 212 Evo in CM Elite 430, which I think is bigger, and that fits. The T4 should fit very comfortably inside this case.You should be good

Yes it does. The case has 165 mm clearance for the CPU cooler and the Hyper 212 EVO cooler is 159 mm tall.

It does NOT fit the Hyper 212 Evo. You will have to bend or otherwise modify the case in order to make it close comfortably. Sadly, there is also very little clearance at the top of the case for a water cooler. If you want to install one at the top of the case, you would be best off with it outside, after cutting out the grilles.

I've actually done this swap already, since the stock fan on my 212 ate it. As long as you harvest the old mounting hardware, you're in good shape, just be sure to mount it with the same airflow direction as original.

Heat sinks dont really mater as long as it is compatible with your mother board and you can mount it to your mother board

I have an Asrock micro ATX board with a Hyper 212 EVO, and no, the fan will not fit over the last RAM slot closest to the CPU because of the extra height added by the RAM's heat sink fins. A plain ram stick without the fins would fit. However, if you don't slide the fan down all the way but stop about a half inch above the bottom, the Ripjaw will fit underneath. I've monitored CPU temps with this arrangement and so far the cooler works just fine even though the fan is 1/2" displaced, so I'm satisfied.
