It's been asked several times across the good ol' interweb, however!, just like anything you look up on the internet, there are mixed answers.....
I've found plenty of sights saying yes ("the Bitfenix Comrade will fit any cooler up to 160mm"), I've found a few sights that say no ("the Comrade will only fit coolers up to 155mm"), and I've even found a few sights that say "the comrade is a mid-ATX format; therefore, it will fit most coolers, except for the largest" (but just how big is that? they did not provide a reference.) .........
I would like to see a definitive answer, so if you have personal experience (or own the case and can measure how much depth it has for a CPU cooler), please share with me. WILL IT OR WON'T IT?
Just for argument's sake [that it won't fit], are there any good/decent coolers that are shorter than the Hyper 212 that will achieve similar performance? It'd be nice to be able to overclock my G3258 to 4.8GHz....not saying I will, just saying it'd be nice......just in case, ya know?
I haven't finalized my build yet, but I like the sleek but not too subtle design with the white color option of the Comrade; combine that with the cheap price ($35) and it is perfect for my build. (IMO, the NZXT Source 210 is a little too subtle and honestly looks like it came directly from the 1990s for me and is, therefore, a turn off).
If you have any case ideas that [would fit the hyper 212] and are not over-the-top while not being too subtle at the same time, I wouldn't mind seeing some suggestions. Color does not have to be white (or black) for that matter, just as long as it isn't screaming "look at me!"
