Hyper 212x Cooler >>> 6mm Clearance OK?

linckmichael · Nov 24, 2013

I have a N400. I decided to get a Hyper 212x.

Cooler Clearance: 164mm
212x: 158mm

Difference is 6mm, is this okay? Would you install it? Or should I return it?

try it first, if it fits then you got a very powerful cpu cooler there
212X is one of the best

Yeah, but I think it would fit. But what happens if its really close to the case? Say 6mm? I've always used a stock fan... I have nooo idea

as long as it doesnt touch the side panel of the case, you dont have to worry

people having mini ITX build has much worse clearance issue

I was about 2mm away from my side panel on an Antec One Hundred mid-tower and it was fine (with a Noctua NH-D14).

Once you screw in the side panel there should not be much flex in it.

Didn't install it in the end... Maybe later
