Does the Hyper evo 212 have room on a msi z97 gaming 5 board?

[Matthew_c]

I was wondering does the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo fit on the Msi Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard with 2 sticks of Kingston hyperx fury.Im worried about the heat sink at the top of the motherboard.Im going to be pointing the fan at the rear exhaust fan above the io ports.
I need help

Yah thats like one of the most popular coolers and a very popular motherboard so im sure msi made sure it would fit with two sticks of ram, here is a thread with someone with a gaming 5 and hyper 212 evo asking about overclocking so i assume he made it work.

Normally it's not the question of Motherboard - Cooler fit or not... As long that you dont use memory with high heat spreader, then it should compatible with any motherboard. Just make sure that your case have case-cooler limitation more than 159mm.

That is an older type of heatsink. You want to go for a newer heatsink model.

I couldn't find exact sizing for the mobo, but I am sure from an eyeball that you'll have enough clearance with fully loaded RAM. Just make sure that you have 159mm or more of room from the mobo to the side panel or window since that's the height of the cooler.
