Compabilty of cpu cooler with case

[kostosic]

I have this case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156301
and I want to upgrade cpu cooling with CM 212 x, but I cannot find clear answer on the internet.

So did anyone have this combination?

Thank you!

According to
http://www.pc-specs.com/case/Raidmax/Raidmax_Vortex_V3/1311 and
http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/hyper-212x/,
then yes: 160mm clearance vs 158 mm

THE 212 EVO is an inch taller and people use it in that case.

So the 212X will fit.
