The cooler is 160mm in height... the chasis' width is 191mm... take away 25-30mm for mobo and cpu and it just about makes it... you will have to do away with the side fan at the top... hyper 212+ is also of the same height and i found this picture which shows the hyper 212+ in a 310... http://i42.tinypic.com/2n16cye.jpg
