I am wondering will this cpu fit in this case. I've seen videos online and looks like it sticks out a lot. Do you think it might block the top fan? To use this cpu cooler the rear 120 fan gets aimed in through it's radiator, right?

Thanks in advance

Solution
The radiator is attached to the rear of the case and you would then have the fan pulling the air through the radiator to cool the liquid inside. Unless you had a really small case it will not block the top fan and by the looks of your choices the Half 922 is not a small case. You have the Cooler Master Hyper 212 selected for a cpu cooler so which one are you going to use? Are you going with the Corsair depending on what the responses are? The Corsair will not block any air flow.

You mean the CPU cooler? First, you have 2 CPU coolers listed and no case. Second, I definitely prefer the Hyper 212 over the H70. Please clarify, and I may be able to give you an answer!

Cheers!

EDIT: I see you have the HAF 922 picked as your case. Either cooler will fit.

The Cooler Master 922 is a case.

I didn't mean to include the Cooler master Hyper 212 into this post, but I have been wondering which cooler I should use. The Hyper 212 seems a little bit more tricky, but I'm not sure. What would you use inzone?
