Will the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 fit in my case. Its a CoolerMaster RC-335, and according to the specs it is 7.29" wide. If I converted correctly, the 212 plus, listed at 158.5mm tall would be about 6 3/8". Sounds pretty tight to me since there is probably close to .75" between the outside of the right side and the top of the cpu. If it wont fit, whats another decent HSF unit for my PhenomII X4, that doesnt cost an arm and leg? Will probably have to go measure it sometime, but I have a bad back, and since its on the floor under a desk..I dont think I could get back up right now..so if someone knows.. please save me some pain.. and thanks

Not even close!
CM Elite 335 = 185mm wide
Antec 300 = 205mm wide

OP i think it's too close to call.
The difference between the case and 212+ is 26.5mm.
Measuring the space between the back of your mobo and to the bottom lip of the right side panel(rear cable management space) will give you a more accurate estimation.
Subtract that measurement from 26.mm = your clearance!
