[jimjohnis]

I've found my asus z87k MB recently.

Can I buy this

Hyper 212 RGB Phantom Gaming Edition | Cooler Master

Hyper 212 RGB Phantom Gaming Edition

www.coolermaster.com

for z87k 1150 socket?
cpu is i7 4790k
as you see I think capacitors are too close to cpu socket Im afraid cooler may touch it.

The hyper 212 Evo should be initially tall enough to clear most obstacles on the motherboard. You might want to look into it further but I doubt it will be an issue.

The mounting hardware should elevate it to clear the caps.
Should fit.

There are always exceptions, although with intel/amd and ATX standardized restrictions placed on the amount of space and clearances surrounding a socket, there are even fewer exceptions as to component placement. There has to be room for a cooler, period.

Nobody has ever, and I mean ever, claimed the hyper212 had a very good mounting system up until the brand new change with the hyper212 rgb black.

Owner of that board in the picture could have adjusted the cooler, it's not seated right. And if push came to shove, could have filed that leading edge like trimming a finger nail and made room to clear those caps without affecting the bracket rigidity.
