Will this fit?

[NomNom]

I've been looking around the internet for a suitalbe cooler for my i5 750 to clock it to 3.8ghz. And the CoolerMaster hyper 212 plus is looking good. However, looking at it on a video review; the thing looks massive compared to my stock cooler.
So my question is:
Will a CoolerMaster hyper 212 plus CPU cooler fit in a CoolerMaster elite 310 case?

The answer to your question is no. All of the the Coolermaster Elite 310 cases are only 7.5 inches (190mm) wide. You would need a case that is at least 8.0 inches (204mm) wide for the 160mm tall cpu heatsinks like the Hyper 212+.

An alternative would be to install a low profile cpu heatsink:

What about a Corsair CWCH50-1 Corsair Water-Cooling system?

first of all NEVER expect such an overclock as every sample is different - you may get more or less all depending on sample, overclock and see what happens but dont EXPECT it to just work at 3.8
