Hey everybody, thanks for the help. I have a thermaltake commander mid tower case. This is pretty much my case except I have the Snow White edition. http://m.tigerdirect.com/products/899126
My cpu is the fx 8320 which is currently being cooled with the jet turbine that came stick with the processor. (Or at least it sounds like one) Aside from the noise I keep getting warnings that my cpu is running at either 60 or 65 degrees Celsius. I can't remember which one.
My big question is: I was wondering if the cooler master hyper 212 EVO cooler would fit in my case. Is there a better smaller solution? I don't want to use liquid cooling so just air cooling is all I'm looking for.
It will definitely fit. My friend has a Thermaltake Commander Black and he can fit the 212 EVO with plenty of room to spare(well,not plenty,maybe more like 10cm. )
Here are the dimensions, yes, it will fit and will leave atleast 11 inches of room to spare since the case fits 170mm. Also be sure to face the cooler to the back fan on your case for maximum cooling and to help out your RAM slots.
