Hey all,
I have a relatively old motherboard (2 years) from an Acer M3970:
Recently, I swapped the case to a Corsair 200R. Here's just a few spec's fyi:
CPU: i5-2320
GPU: Sapphire 7950 Boost
PSU: Thermaltake 650W Gold
RAM: 4 GB ADATA x2 low-profile
CPU temp's under load go as high as 67C under heavy gaming, and 70C on full-stress tests,
so I'm looking if I can replace the stock cooler with a CM Hyper 212X.
The only issue I have is that this is an OEM motherboard, not sure if the layout is different from "gaming" Motherboards.
I would appreciate any kind of help, as to how I can check if the CM Hyper212X will be able to fit this CPU (especially the clearance from the GPU and the RAM)
