Will the Cooler Master EVO 212 fit my Rosewill CHALLENGER case with 2 120MM fans on the side panel?

Ferrariassassin · Mar 3, 2015

I am buying a new heat ink for my CPU and i want the Cooler Master EVO 212 but i am afraid it will not fit due to my Rosewill challenger case and 2x120mm Corsair Blue LED fans on the side panel

My PC specs are in the description.

It doesn't say how tall a cooler it'll take - http://www.rosewill.com/products/1533/ProductDetail_Specifications.htm

But the case is only 7.5in wide anyway. Even without the fans the cooler most likely wouldn't fit. It sure won't with the fans.

So, are you asking if a 212 Evo will fit, or are you saying that it won't fit?

The 212 Evo is 160mm tall, so you need to get the tape measure out and check the space yourself.

And any of you guys recomend the best CPU cooler to fit in it?

i7Baby · Mar 3, 2015

How much room do you have?

Ferrariassassin · Mar 3, 2015

7 inched from my bare CPU to side panel with no fans on.

i7Baby · Mar 3, 2015

But its only 7.5in wide. Your CPU would be at least an inch from the motherboard side of the case. Check it again.

So that's 165mm. So the evo will fit without fans. Sure you need to have side fans? Not many people fit them. In fact I 've never heard of anyone fitting them.

With them, that leaves 140mm max. You could get a Noctua Low Profile cooler eg NH L12 - 66mm high - http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=productview&products_id=46&lng=en&set=1

Well i would buy a water cooler before i wasted $120 on a mere fan atached to a Heatsink, i mean i think it is a was to spend more than $50 over an Air cooled heat sink for a CPU. Is there any good onese under $50?

i7Baby · Mar 3, 2015

Maybe -

Thanks

What one would be the best? I do not plan to overclock i just wan my CPU too run cool because it gets 100 degrees on prime 95 and sruns idle at 40-50 degrees.

Ferrariassassin · Mar 3, 2015

And hey what if i get the Cooler Master Seidon 120V or Corsair H60? Would i just be stupid to get one of these since i am not overclocking?

i7Baby · Mar 3, 2015

They'd be OK too. Pick whichever is in budget.

Ferrariassassin · Mar 3, 2015

i7Baby :

I am really loving the Cooler Master one but is it good? I am so scarred of buying a watercooled one and it leaking ang causing my PC to ctch fire and explode

i7Baby · Mar 3, 2015

Look at reviews and benchmarks eg http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2744

i7Baby :

Ok i bought it for $40 brand new

Do you think its a good product for my i5-4690 stock? Like do you think its better than my intel Stock cooler? That link you sent me said it was pretty good.

i7Baby · Mar 4, 2015

Yes - the Seidon cooler would be very good with the i5. Much better than the stock cooler.

i7Baby :

Ok good haha. The reason i bought the ugly looking ROSEWILL challenger is because it is strong built and looks ugly so that means that even though i have pricy internals if someone breaks into my house i have less chances of them stealing a dull, ugly looking PC lol. I also have 1 120MM Static pressure fan on the front of my PC, High airflow 120MM on the side panel, and one more for the rear exhaust than i have 1 140MM on the top for exhaust. Do i have the right fan set up like dont i need the Static pressure one in the front fue to the HDD cage and such?

i7Baby · Mar 4, 2015

That's about all you can do.

Ferrariassassin · Mar 4, 2015

i7Baby :

So do you think i have the right fans in the right place? Also should i have a push pull on my radiator?

i7Baby · Mar 4, 2015

A good case can have 2 fans in the front. You can't do any better with that case.

Ferrariassassin · Mar 5, 2015

i7Baby :

Huh? I asked if i had the right High Performance or Static pressure fans in the right place, what are you talking about?

i7Baby · Mar 5, 2015

You asked "So do you think i have the right fans in the right place? "

Ferrariassassin · Mar 5, 2015

i7Baby :

Yes i know and you said (A good case can have 2 fans in the front. You can't do any better with that case.) I know a case can have 2 fans in the front, i know that but i was asking did i put the Static pressure fans and high performance fans in the right place. For example, doesn't the Static Pressure fan go in the front?

Will the Cooler Master EVO 212 fit my Rosewill CHALLENGER case with 2 120MM fans on the side panel?
