Question LC-Power Gaming 988W with Coolermaster Hyper 212x

[Chkontog]

Hi, I have this cpu cooler https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/coolers/cpu-air-coolers/hyper-212x/ which is 158mm .It will fit in LC-Power Gaming 988W case?

 

[MasterWigu]

The case's max cooler height is 155mm, the cooler is 159mm, so it wont fit.

The case's max cooler height is 155mm, the cooler is 159mm, so it wont fit.

Here it says that maximum height of cpu cooler is 17cm.

Here it says that maximum height of cpu cooler is 17cm.

And the manufacturer of the case, who are far more reliable than a random Amazon posting, says the max height is 155mm:

Gaming 988W - Blue Typhoon

Sorry bub, but that cooler won't fit.

Then I'm led to believe they changed the side panel design and never updated it on their own website.
If you're lucky, you'll won't get a package with the old panel equipped.

Looking over the case's design, that front panel is terrible for airflow, and has no filtration - but the top panel does; one of the sides that doesn't need a filter, because it should be an exhaust.
I hope you don't plan on putting any high power parts in there...

The case isn't the best as it should be but i like the design.
