I am working on overclocking my CPU and am looking for after market air cooling options that fit in the Rosewill Line Glow.

I'm considering the 'Cooler Master 212 Evo'. However, I believe I read where a guy bought this and it wouldn't quite fit in his Line Glow case. It is cheap which is cool for my wallet but is it cool for the PC?

Edit: it is close but it fits.

Idling at a high of 50 on all cores, playing the games I play with a high of 65-70 with a stock cooler OC'd at 4.0 GHZ.

By the way, from my measurements, it seems that EVO is about 2 centimeters too big. Unfortunate.

I am using the rosewill ranger m (this case is bull crap) and a hyper tx3 fit no problem.

I vow never to buy another rosewill case again.

I like how you wrapped your Sata cables around the PSU cables, clever space saving solution. Why would you never buy another Rosewill again? I'm not on cloud nine with my Rosewil or anything but for 50 bucks it wasn't bad. Came with 4 fans which was a huge selling point for me. I just need a full tower.

Hello. My case was just really low quality. The 5.25 and 3.5 inch bays fell out and need to manually put them in to make it look good, easily scratched, and cross threaded screws easisly. It's not half bad, but it is really flimsy. I actually just ordered a new case. For 60$ I got the nzxt phantom 240 on amazon :). I also ordered a 2m nzxt led light strip. I'm happy this case atleast has a blue led fan, so I will move this fan to that case and it will give it a nice blue glow. My fans are also dead silent because I'm using a resistor cable to slow them down. Can't wait for the case to come :)

I think my wire management was good on this case, but I can only imagine what I can do in that case (until I get it that is)

Also, the nzxt is 4 inches taller, 2 inches deeper, and .6 inches wider than your case and made of insaneley high quality metals compared to what I am rocking. I just need to keep that tower really nice looking at all times. No scratches allowed, lol.
