Is the Hyper 212 Evo compatible with the Maximus VII Hero?

AegisVertigo257 · Dec 31, 2014

Hi!

So I've been considering getting the Asus Maximus VII Hero for a build of mine, but I'm cautious of the heatsinks, and whether or not they'll get in the way of a Hyper 212 Evo.

What do you guys think? Do you think the board's heatsinks will be able to play nice with the size and shape of the Evo?

Thanks!

EDIT (clarification if needed): I am speaking about the heatsinks surrounding the cpu socket, not the RAM heatsinks.

Apparently the heatsink gets in the way of the fan. Luckily, you can shift higher the fan on the CPU heatsink for clearance if needed. It should be fine.

So the heatsink itself won't give me any problems?

No it won't

Mr_Venbeer :

Cool!

Is this due to the fact that the fan is just a tiny bit wider than the heatsink (so as to be able to be mounted onto it), thus causing it to bump up a little bit against the heatsinks surrounding the cpu socket on the motherboard?

Mr_Venbeer · Dec 31, 2014

Yes, basically. Only thing though I doubt you can put the CPU heatsink facing up or down (pushing or pulling air towards the top exhaust if you have one)

Mr_Venbeer :

Interesting. Will the slight displacement of the cooling fan affect temperatures in any way?

Also, is it sort of standard to use some sort of liquid cooling mechanism on the Vii Hero? Every build I see that integrates the Vii Hero involves some sort of liquid cooling.

That's optional. You can do a custom water loop but is annoying because you have to measure everything and buy all the pieces, also needs maintenance and if it leaks your components may die.
It might only affect temps by 1-2 degrees at max if you shift up the fan on the cooler slightly.

EVO won't be much of a problem , I have this on my HERO VII.
