212 evo in a SPEC 01?

[Nathan_28]

I am having a mixed response, will a 212 evo fit in a spec 01?

'Mixed response'?

For the case: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/carbide-series-spec-01-red-led-mid-tower-gaming-case
Maximum CPU Cooler Height
150 mm

For the 212 EVO: http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/hyper-212-evo/
Dimension 120 x 80 x 159 mm

Pretty sure 159 is larger than 150.

To be sure, sometimes those measurements are off one way or the other.
But given those numbers, I would say NO, unless I saw an actual pic of that cooler mounted in that case.

Then you have your answer.
That side bulge is apparently enough for clearance.

But, for a better one at the same price, look into a Cryorig H7.

That WILL fit. 145mm.
