Hello guys,
I recently put together a mid-range gaming rig and ran into an unforeseen issue with the CPU Cooler. My MSI 990FXA GD65V2 motherboard doesn't seem to support a Cooler Master Hyper 212X, I tried different ways of screwing it in but for no avail.
I referred to pcpartpicker.com, and it lists EVO 212 as compatible. Can anyone shed some light on whether that is accurate, or suggest a good compatible CPU Cooler?
I'm in India and have already lost 2600 INR on the 212X.
Thanks. And here's the full config for reference:
Processor: AMD FX 8350 Black edition
Board: MSI 990FXA GD65 V2
GPU: Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon R9 270X with boost 4 GB DDR5*
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 1x8 GB 1600Mhz
HDD: WD Caviar Green 2 TB
PSU: Seasonic S12G 750W
Cabinet: Cooler Master HAF 912 Combat Mid Tower
Monitor: Samsung 22" LED
