Cooler master hyper 212 evo

[TafZita]

Alright i need to know if Cooler master hyper 212 evo fits into my k380 case. Ive seen a lot of questions and some are saying that it fits and some that it dont fits. Ive seen photos and some people told me that it fits. Can you help me because I need to know before i buy it. Thank in advance.

http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/k380/ this says it can support up to a 155mm tall cooler. the 212 evo is a 159 mm tall cooler http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/hyper-212-evo/

so i'd go with it probably won't fit or if it does it will be hitting up against the side panel pretty tight. 4mm is not much but of course is enough of a difference to not make it. i have no experience with this case so can't say it will fit or not. but going by the specs pages, it won't fit.

Alright thanks. So if 212 doesnt fit, I was thinking about the cm rr gmm4 geminii if its good for 1150 socket. Do you know if its good or should I search for another one?

Probably need to go with a cooler that has 92 mm fans. The Noctua NH-U9s is 125mm tall so you would have room to spare. Awesome little cooler.

I think Cooler Master makes a small tower cooler with a 92 mm fan -- Hyper TX3.

Tower coolers with 120mm fans are going to be pushing it in a case with 155 mm clearance.
