will a Cooler master hyper 212 evo fit a Gigabyte GA-H110M-A motherboard with Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB ram?
 
Solution


Yes. But will it fit in your case? What case are you using?

Im using a
Deepcool TESSERACT SW ATX case
 


Hyper 212 EVO is 158.5mm tall, Tesseract SW allows for coolers up to 168mm. Adding 5mm for a possible taller socket, it's still under 164mm. It will fit.

The case shouldn't make the actual installation any harder. It might be a little tricky to see what you're doing, though. Also, if the case allows you to put the backplate on from the backside, that will be a big help.
 
If the motherboard is not already installed in the case, I would install the CPU cooler before installing the motherboard into the case. You can use the CPU cooler as a sort of handle to line up the motherboard with the standoffs in the case.

Looking at the product page for your case, it has a cutout so you can get to the area behind the motherboard where the backplate would go.
