Coolermaster Hyper 212 evo - RAM & Motherboard Compatibility

snehal_pc · Jul 11, 2016

Hi All...

Am planning to install Hyper 212 evo, as the stock cooler is too noisy.
Doubt: Will it interfere with RAM Modules Heat Sinks or any other obstacle ?

My configuration:
CPU: AMD FX 8350
Mobo: ASUS M5A99X Evo R2.0
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (8x2) (On its Way for delivery, Not yet Installed)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (4x2) (Currently Installed)
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 6870 DD 1GB
Case: Crosair Carbide 500r
Displays: 2 x Full HD

Primary Intention is to get rid of the stock coolers noise. Not that much interested in overclocking.
Other alternatives are welcome too... budget is not a problem but I prefer more or less the same price around of Hyper 212 evo.

you should be fine from what ive read about the mobo config, even if it stops you using slot 1 you can use the 2 sticks of vengeance pro in slot 2 & 4.

Hawkshot :

I intend to use all 4 RAM Sticks... as I work a lot on Adobe CS 6 in multi monitor setup, so cant run low on RAM.
And thats the reason I ordered Vengeance Pro, which is shorter than normal vengeance RAM Sticks.

as I said, from the specs that I read the CPU cooler shouldn't cover up any of the ram slots if you mount it with the fan facing the ram slots.

RobCrezz · Jul 11, 2016

you should be fine with low profile ram like that

RobCrezz :

Its not the "L" version, its just Corsair Vengeance Pro

snehal_pc · Jul 14, 2016

can someone please confirm with 100% that I will be able to use all the 4 RAM Slots...
I have to order hyper 212 evo, and running out of time.

RobCrezz · Jul 14, 2016

The only way you will get 100% confirmation is if someone here is using the same motherboard, with the same ram and a hyper 212 evo...

Good luck.

And any technical problem if I mount it vertical instead of horizontal ?

RobCrezz · Jul 14, 2016

I think it only mounts vertical on AMD motherboards.

snehal_pc · Jul 14, 2016

Am more nervous now...
Any good alternative to 212 evo which performs more or less same and is silent, and ofcourse does not interfere with RAM Slots.

Phanteks TC12DX. I used to have one, very good air cooler and well designed.

Bit more expensive than the 212 evo, but better performance, better looks and very good compatability with even high profile ram.

Hi RobCrezz...
I guess I will go with your suggestion...
Is the below one the same which you are talking about ?

Yep thats the one. Its a very good cooler, so if you can accept the extra cost over the 212 evo then it should be fine.
