I was planning on making a new pc build, I was wondering if a Cooler Master 212 Evo will fit in a corsair 250d. I was wondering because the heat sink is suppose to be large, and I was planning to put it in a fan controller. The motherboard is a ASRock z97M-ITX. I was also planning to Overclock.

(This is my first time, making a computer, so I was asking because I could save a few bucks)


Specs:
Case: 250d
CPU: i7 4790k
GPU: EVGA 750ti 2gb
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8gb
PSU: EVGA 600w
MB: ASRock z97 mini itx
HDD: 1tb seagate barracuda 7200rpm
SSD: Intel 530 120gb

Yes - a 212 Evo can fit on an ITX motherboard, but there is no standardisation so it will vary from motherboard to motherboard. As a general rule, MSI will not, Asus will, ASRock will but might be case-dependant and Gigabyte 90-series will but 80-series will not.

No - a 212 Evo will not fit in a 250D. There's limited clearance for air coolers, it's really not designed for that - it's build to fit a H100i (or similar).

If you are overclocking the the Z97M-ITX is probably a poor choice. It's a new board and I haven't seen any decent reviews, but the design is near identical to that of the H97M-ITX and it lacks the power phases and heatsinks of the superior Z97E-ITX.
