How big the case should be?

Is NZXT Lexa S too small for a heatsink?

CPU i7-920
MOBO GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R
heatsink COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 RR-B10-212P-G1
case: NZXT LEXA S LEXS - 001BK (dimension 20.79" x 7.72" x 18.90")?

It will fit a heatsink at the size of a cm 212+, just do some research and you will find it, but yes it fit heatsinks.

The height of the heat sink is 158.5cm.
The case depth is 196cm. How can you fit one with height 212cm?

cm goes for cooler master and 212 + is the model of the heatsink

Here it is Cooler Master 212 Plus, or cm 212+ or whatever you want to call it

Thanks! My head was full of dimensions. I googled. Looks like it is not easy to fit based on some articles. Maybe I'll just go with cm haf 922m.

the haf 922 is a great case, when I bought my antec 900 I had the option of buying one of them for the same price, I basically chose the antec 900 over the 922 because it have a better look, the window, and I don't like too-less cases, but the 922 is also a great case and have a better cable management. if you want to save some money the cm 690 is also a great case, and cheaper.
