Can I install the 212 EVO while my stuff is in the Case?

[IMightBeABagel]

I am looking at buying an aftermarket CPU cooler, and the 212 EVO caught my eye. I have a Corsair 200R case which has a motherboard cutout, but I don't know if it is big enough for the cooler to be installed with everything inside.

My question is this: Can theHyper 212 EVO be installed in the Corsair 200R case while the motherboard, CPU, etc. are already in the case?

Depends largely on the case. In my Corsair Spec-02, there would be no way.

Move some stuff out of the way (top fans, etc), and you're able to get it in there with the motherboard in, though.
