Hyper 212 Plus

[loresr97]

I just bought a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus. Will it fit my Asus P8Z77 V LE motherboard with G.Skill Ripjaws X memory? How do I clean the old thermal paste? How should I place it in my HAF 912 case, it has 200mm fan for intake and 140mm on back for exhaust.

The fan will go over the ram. If the ram is too tall simply slide the fan up a little on the heatsink until it fits. Yes it will fit that mobo and your case. Use a little rubbing alcohol to clean off the old paste and use the coolermaster paste inluded in the box.

Ok, is my fan configuration good, 200m front for intake 140mm back for exhaust?

Sure that's fine. That should create positive pressure in the case to help keep dust out.

the 212 is good but many people use it just for the fact other people do. I believe the thermaltake contac 21 to be a tad better when it comes to cooling.
