Hey guys,
I have put a lot of thought into the set up I want. But I have one problem. I dont know if the fan&heatsink i bought will fit in my mid tower. The case is a Rosewill BLACKHAWK, and the cooler is a cooler master hyper 212 plus. do you think it will fit? Please respond! Thanks!

Rosewill BLACKHAWK : 8.35"
Hyper 212 plus : 158.5 mm (approx. 6 1/4")

I have the same cooler in my HAF 912 which is listed as 9.10" and there is at least 2 inches between the top of the cooler and the case. That makes me think that it would fit in your case since the listed difference (between my case and the Blackhawk) is less than an inch.

Well.. Yes sort of.. I had to break the fan guard and force it on. Not advised.. As it makes your CPU tilt slightly. Get another.
