Will heatsink fit?

[jonny76]

Anyone have any experiences with this case:

I am looking to install this heatsink:

I am concerned that this heatsink may be too big for the case. Thoughts?

V8 is know to be big and bulky
kinda of heavy for mobo IMHO
most members will tell you that the 212+ is a little cheaper

and a better cooler plus is 120mmX120mmX25mm

(edit that is fan dimensions not fan and heatsink - Tired )

(just researched that on this thread - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/307914-28-what-cooling-system-build)
It is a toms hardware recommended buy
a;sp two of these would be good to add if you really need the cooling

edit - will come back with total dimensions

this is a sticky on Toms for installint the Hyper 212+
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/258023-29-installing-cooler-master-hyper
this is specs from CM
http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/product.php?product_id=2731
it is little smaller than V8
V8 is
Fan Dimensions 120 x 120 x 25mm
Heatsink Dimensions 120 x 120 x 158mm
Weight 1.91 lbs.

while the 212+ is

Heat Sink Dimensions

122 x 92 x 160 mm

Fan Dimension (W / H / D)

120 x 120 x 25 mm

main thing is to watch the ram slots and height of ram
according to sticky
if the ram slots are close than you need a low profile ram
not Ripjaws or other tall ram

The thing about the V8 is its weight
the 212+ cools better and from reviews is quieter

Thanks, the board I will be using is
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131730

There seems to be quite a distance between the cpu and the RAM slots. I am going to go with the 212+.

Awesome Board!
should be fine especially if you use lower profile ram
like Corsair XMS3 or Kingston Hyperion or Gskill Eco
from reading the huge fins on Corsair Vengeance and Gskill Ripjaws
doesnt do much for cooling in real world applicaions
