CPU Cooler Clearance

[Andrew Pi]

Hi,
I recently purchased a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, and am awaiting its delivery. However, I just checked the CPU cooler clearance for my case (NZXT H230), and it is 158mm. I then checked the dimensions of the cooler, and they are 120x80x159. Will this cooler fit? If it won't, can you please recommend a good, cheap cooler that WILL fit? Also, are there clearances for a motherboard?
Thanks!

Just make sure you tighten it down snug. Might as well try it, 1mm is very close lol if it doesn't work, you can get a low-profile cooler.

Why didn't you ask this before you bought it though lol

I think you are good.
