The title is pretty self explanatory. I was on pcpartpicker and i selected the Hyper 212 Evo and the Inwin 805 infinity. It says that these two are not campatible, and provides no explanation. Any explanation would be appreciated!

Ok thanks for the prompt reply. I was thinking it was a good cooler seeing as how it has an 82 CFM air displacement. It seems to also be reccomended everywhere.

For the cooler you suggest first, it only has a 49 CFM. Is that bad and does it affect CPU temps?

I also wanted to throw on a RGB 120 mm fan to the Hyper 212. Will i still be able to do this.

Thanks!

Both coolers I suggested support 120mm fans, so yes you can swap/add more if you want.
the CFM of the cooler isn't... super important because it's more important to get air into the case, where higher CFM matters more.
And higher CFM = higher noise, so the more expensive one, with lower CFM still cools better.
The gammax is like, 1-2C worse than the 212, but if you replace the fan(s) it may run better, and it's also short enough to fit where the 212 wasn't.

Ok thanks a lot this makes much more sense now. Also how much space do I need between the CPU cooler and the case window? It seems like 1cm isn't really enough and it also wouldn't look good
