2 questions - Hyper 212 may not fit in case? and weird sound coming from somewhere...?

Hi, I recently built a desktop with an AMD Ryzen 5 1600, as well as the stock Wraith Spire CPU cooler. Recently I discovered that the CPU was heating up a little more than I'd like, so I decided to spend some money to upgrade the CPU cooler(among other things).

My issue is that based on specs and my own measurements, it appears that the Hyper 212 EVO *might* not fit in my case - the [Deepcool Tesseract SW], along with my motherboard, the [Asrock X370 Killer SLI/ac]. From what I measured, the clearance from the top of the motherboard(above the CPU) is about *6.9-7.1* inches, while the Hyper 212 EVO appears to be about *6.25-6.5* inches tall. While half an inch should technically be enough clearance, I don't know if it will have any adverse effects on other things? Not sure, esp considering the stock Wraith Spire has about 3.5 in clearance? please help.

Also, my computer(all new parts) seems to have a loud sound running all the time. It sounds like fans, but I tried turning off all my fans(the 2 stock ones, 2 cheap extra fans, the Wraith Spire fan, and the GPU fans that aren't running while not at load). I disconnected the optical drive, unused HDDs, and took out 1 RAM stick(out of 2x8GB sticks), and it still has the weird sound. I tried pressing down on various parts of the motherboard, frame, wires, and case but the sound still persists.
From what I can tell, its not coil whine, it doesnt seem to be coming from the PSU(which I'm about to upgrade to [EVGA Supernova 550] because idk I got a raise?), so my last though would be the motherboard. Issue is, afaik, the mobo doesn't make much, if any sound? The chipset also gets pretty hot, but idk if thats an issue.

Thanks for the help, and **TLDR;** - Case may not be wide enough for Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler, *and* weird noise from somewhere, not too loud but annoying as I have my computer on top of my desk.

This video shows you can have the Coolermaster Hyper 212 in that case however my initial inquiry is, can you get a Cryorig H7 cooler?

Mind sharing your full system's slike so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

If the noise(high pitched hum) you speak of can be isolated and coming from the PSU or the back of your dedicated GPU, then it's due to coil whine.

Ok looks good, I just wasn't sure if I should have more space for clearance or if <1 in was fine, since I've always just used the stock fan.

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
Motherboard: Asrock X370 Killer SLI/ac
Ram: 16 GB 2x8 Crucial Ballistix DDR4-2400
SSD/HDD: Sandisk SDSSDA240G (256 GB) and WD Caviar Blue 1TB 7200RPM
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB VRAM
PSU: Raidmax 539SS
Chassis: Deepcool Tesseract Blue - Chassis is case, right?
OS: Windows 10 Education

I don't think its coil whine since all the videos/audio clips I've heard of coil whine are much more high pitched than this.

Thanks
