Cooler Master Master air Maker 8 CPU Cooler in CM690 III (Cant Believe its Fitted properly)

[nitinvaid20]

Bought This Monster and it is fitted properly and safely

Well I have Managed To Install The Coolermaster Master Air 8 CPU Cooler In CM 690 III

Its perfectly installed in my CM 690 III as i was worried that it wont fit becouse cooler is big 172mm and on CM site it was given that CM 690III supports max of 171MM height CPU cooler

But its fit even there is still more gap after closing the side panel like

was using H100I previously now i got this monster and i am really impressed really... My I5 4670K Overclocked @4.4Ghz and max Temp after running prime 95 for 10 Min it wont exceed 60'C
and my ambient Temp are 35'C+ i am from India Newdelhi and its summer time very hot and humid


Here Are the Pictures

I was thinking to buy this CPU cooler will it fit in it?

If any one here is using it can you please post some photos. I was searching on google but no luck.

Specs for the Cooler Master 690 III case (which I presume is what you mean by CM693) say the max cpu cooler height is 171mm.
Specs for the MasterAir Maker 8 say the height is 172mm.
I wouldn't count on it fitting.

1mm gap is fine
1mm interference is not fine.

Also, which manufacturer and assembly line missed the measurements by 0.5mm?

Don't buy it.

You do not want it touching the side panel. At all. Even a little bit.

Well that's bad... I already ordered it and it looks like I had to cancel the order .....
