Hi all. I am running a Xeon E3 1245v3 inside the "cooler master CMP 250" case on a stock cooler. whether Cooler Master Hyper 212X fits in this casing? If not please recommend a good cooler that fits in this case as temp ranges between high 70's - low 80's on full load and I am in urgent need of a cooler. I am from India as you can guess from the temps.
Thanks

From this site http://hardwire.in/cabinets-cooling/1218-coolermaster-cmp-250.html, it says the maximum cooler height is 154 mm (6.0 in).

The Cooler Master Hyper 212x has a height of 158 mm (6.2 in) http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/hyper-212x/

I don't think the Hyper 212x would fit.

The Deepcool Gammaxx S40 http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/5514/deepcool-gammax-s40-cpu-cooler-review/index9.html and Cooler Master Hyper TX3 http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Cooler-Master-Hyper-TX3-CPU-Cooler-Review/848/8 are within the price range of the Hyper 212x. Beware though that these might not clear tall RAMs.

This may seem insane but just buy the cooler 212x n cut n mod your cabinet a little bit. I promise it will be worth it and your case won't look bad at all! Well I can provide with simple designs if you wanna try. I've done the same to my case and it looks gorgeous! The cooler totally worths the buck!

Hii ravikumar17jan....i have the above mentioned case Cooler Master CMP 250...The website mentions the max cpu cooler height is 154mm(15.4cm)...On the other hand hyper 212x is 158mm...Knowing the additional 4mm height i ordered the cooler...Take my words,if you install this cooler on this case, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CLOSE THE SIDE(THE ONE THATS CONTAINS THE MESH)...You cannot slide the side gate all the way on the top and bottom....Either the top or bootom can be slided to close the case somewhat...Also to install this cooler you will have to remove the motherboard...In short,there is no backplate accesible in this case....

I'm a person who generally opens the case the whole time...so it doesnt matters....DO NOT NEGLECT THE 4MM ADDITIONAL HEIGHT....IT DO MATTER!!

Since i am using this cooler in this case,i can recommend this cooler for your case...Best if you open the case or else barely fit the side gate....
