Will Hyper Evo 212 fit?

kasparesky · Apr 27, 2014

Case: Zalman Z1 http://www.zalman.com/global/product/Product_Read.php?Idx=836

Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/hyper-212-evo/

Will it fit? The case is 199mm wide the cooler is 159mm high, I'm not sure if it will fit, can't find any info on max cooler height for the Z1 case.

Thanks in advance

Yes, i think there will be enough space, since the Cooler Master K 350 is 180mm Wide, and it was 3mm short for fitting the CM Hyper 212. Since the Zalman Z1 is 199mm Wide, than there will be no problem.

hi kasparesky
best way to be sure is to measure from your mobo to the outside of the case , if you have 165mm or more you will be good to go

maurelie :

On the CM 350 page it says that the max cpu cooler height is 148.5mm, strange that it came only 3 mm short since the CM Hyper 212 EVO is 159mm high.

kasparesky :

Hmm, must have mixed with some other case, sorry. Well if it supports 148.5 mm with 180mm wideness, than Zalman's 199mm will be enough for 159mm cpu cooler

mickypheonix :

Yeah, but I don't have a reliable way of measuring that, I have a Zalman CNPS5X Performa in there and the side panels of the case are not flat, see picture

I tried measuring as it is, and it was roughly 160mm from the CNPS5X heatsink base till the case without the panel attached.

In theory it should fit, I just don't want the pointy bits(no idea what are they called

) of the heatsink touching the side panel and causing a short.

mickypheonix · Apr 27, 2014

hmmm pretty close m8 , those would be the heat pipes , your side panel sticks out a bit though doesn't it so you may get away with it with room to spare , how much does the side panel jutt out , is hard to tell from the image

mickypheonix :

It's a pain to meassure since it's not 90 degrees out, it's on a rough 45 degree angle, but I would say around 6mm give or take

edit: I like the Hyper 212, have used it before(in a different system), it's a great price/perfomance cooler, but maybe just to be sure I should get a smaller one, any suggestions?

mickypheonix · Apr 27, 2014

then 160mm + 6mm = 166MM , cooler height 159mm

sounds like you are good to go with 7mm to spare
looks like she'll fit

mickypheonix :

In theory

Well, we won't find out if I don't try, I'll post back in a few days.

Thanks for all the help

I fit the Hyper 212 Evo in my Rosewill Challenger so I think it will fit in your case.

mickypheonix :

Bad news

It doesn't fit, if you put it parallel to the fan on the back of the case so it pulls the air out, like I want, the place where the side panel jutts out starts about 2cm too low, therefore the heatpipes are touching the side panel, only other option would be turning the heatsink 90 degrees and moving rams sticks, which I don't want to do.

mickypheonix · Apr 30, 2014

that's a damn shame m8 , you measured it and all :ouch:

kasparesky · Apr 30, 2014

mickypheonix :

Yeah, I'm looking at some smaller coolers now, any suggestions?

kasparesky · Apr 30, 2014

How about this one? http://zalman.com/global/product/Product_Read.php?Idx=461

It's 7mm shorter

mickypheonix · Apr 30, 2014

this sucker will fit at 140.5mm high

kasparesky · Apr 30, 2014

mickypheonix :

Looks good, but it's quite expensive here, cheapest I could find is 66 EUR what is almost triple the price of the Zalman I linked

edit: I think I will go with this one http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Scythe/Katana4/

it's 143mm high, which should be plenty of space and it's relatively cheaper than the Phanteks, since this is my secondary pc, I won't be doing crazy OC or anything of that sort, this should keep the system quiet and cool enough

Thanks for your suggestion though

if not overclocking the zalman will be ok

Will Hyper Evo 212 fit?
