It depends what cpu/ram/and case are you using?

Get a Corsair A70. It allows for slightly more headroom above your RAM slots than a CM 212.

^^^^ No it doesn't.
I replaced a 212+ with an A70 with 4 dimms full of Ripjaws.
The 212+ has less dimm intrusion.
The 212+ is 79.7mm wide.
A70 is close to 130mm wide.

Is the A70 loud?
