Buying CPU cooler

zul911 · Mar 8, 2014

Hi guys,
I plan to buy either Cooler Master Hyper 212+ or Evo to replace my CPU's stock heatsink. But, PCPartPicker says that both Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler height clearance could not be verified with my casing. What does this means? Can I still go on with this purchase?

Case and RAM i'm using:
Logisys CS368BB ATX Mid Tower Case w/480W Power Supply AND Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB)

It means pcpartpicker doesnt know whether the cooler will fit into your case or not. CM Hyper 212 evo is a tall cooler. You should verify the space available in your cabinet first before ordering.

I think it can fit well into my case. But, I'm not too sure about that. I'm just afraid that it will disturb the RAM nearby.

What motherboard do you have? (Asking for RAM slot position).

MSI A55M-E33 Micro ATX FM2+

cooler master hyper N520, CM hyper TX3 evo, xigmatek loki, are much smaller than 212 evo.

Yours is a micro atx case. BUT, it will fit because there are people with this board who have this cooler on this mobo- These should make you happy-

Thanks dude

212 evo need a wide case. at least 20cm wide.

Erman Yudhistira :

Dimension evo: 120 x 80 x 159 mm (4.7 x 3.1 x 6.3 in)
Dimension Logisys CS368BB ATX Mid Tower: 180x420x450 mm or 7.10"x16.55"x17.75" (WxHxD)

I think that evo will slightly fit. What do you think? Bcos I really want this cooler. It has the best performance for the price. Is there a similar cooler in terms of quality and price with evo?

zul911 :

Evo is the best vfm cooler at this price. Looking at your case dimensions, it should fit.

Erman Yudhistira · Mar 8, 2014

please measure with ruler the range from your CPU to the side panel. or you can make a 7.10" sample ( maybe a box ) to measure it fit. i'm sorry for my bad english

Erman Yudhistira :

Yes you can do this, it will make you ultra satisfied I think

Erman Yudhistira · Mar 8, 2014

for your consider, i have a case with 20mm width and a 159mm CPU cooler (Xigmatek Achilles). its only 8-10mm different from the top cooler to side panel.

zul911 · Mar 18, 2014

Unfortunately, the CM Evo doesn't fit into my case. It's slightly taller and I can't put on the side panel.

You checked the spacing with ruler etc didnt you? Atcual thread was about the mobo fitting in the cooler. Its sad though that ur case dont have the space.

Never mind. As long as I can keep the CPU temp down, that would be great. But, why can't I get below 20C when idle like others claimed? When using HWMonitor, instead of showing temp for all 4 cores, it only shows CPU temp package and the temp is quite high, around 45C when idle. Is the reading wrong?

Np I dont think the reading is wrong. Idle temps depend on ambient room temps. 45C for an AMD is completely ok.

Thank God. Just to make sure that nothing is wrong. Btw, Evo is good. It keeps my APU temp around 50-55C under load.

That are some very nice figures. You should not worry at all.
