Why would you? , the Wraith is a better cooler.

So the hyper 212 is a worse cooler than the wraith stealth? Since when

Why would you? , the Wraith is a better cooler.

You did see it was the Wraith Stealth right? The little one that looks like the stock Intel heatsinks. The 212 is better than that.

Can I change my CPU cooler to the hyper 212 black edition without removing mobo in my h500 case

Yes, you can. The case has a cutout behind the motherboard where the CPU is so you can access the back of the motherboard to mount a cooler bracket.
