This information is normally listed on the manufacturer web sites.

159mm (6.36") http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/hyper-212-plus/

I can't find CiT anywhere so, since you have the case, your gonna have to measure and see if that will fit

The case has two side panel fans which will have a very good chance of hitting the cooler... been there done that. Have an Antec 1200 that a Prolimatech Megahalems (157.8mm) and that case is a large full tower (8.4" wide) ..... yours is a midi-tower. Got lucky tho.... because the panel fan was mounted diagonally, I was able to trim a corner of the fan and resolve the issue....with two fans you won't have that option.

So just use a measuring tape and see if you have room to the case edge and then subtract about 25mm for the fan.

That CPU cooler should fit fine in your case. The case would have to be abnormally thin for it to hit that side panel you'll be taking off to put it on. Great cooler choice too.

found this from a post on the uk forum for the case specs http://www.aone.co.uk/ProdInfo.ASP?ProductID=3590

Didn't see the typical "Maximum CPU Cooler Height = xxx mm" in those specs. But.....

202mm width makes it tight.

202 mm - 25mm for panel fans leaves ya with 177 mm ... then take out the coolers 159 mm and that leaves ya just 18mm for side panels, behind MoBo panel space, MoBo standoffs, MoBo and CPU socket.

Measuring tape gonna be needed to make sure but I don't see it happening.

What did their web site say was the allowable cooler height ?

If they don't say, then there's prolly a reason and we have no way of knowing unless somebody happens to have the model you are looking for.

These work
