Question Will Hyper 212 EVO will fit my motherboard?

[DominatorOne]

Hello guys, I´m running and old system with an i7 860, 8 gb of ram and a gtx 670 windforce 3X, everything is running just fine besides my cpu temperatures that hit nearly 80 °C whenever I play witcher 3 and crysis 3 so I decided to purchase an CM Hyper T2, the problem was that I didn´t notice my motherboard does not support heat sinks with clip mechanism since it´s an OEM dell motherboard model 0C2KJT that uses a bearing mechanism like the 212 EVO, I found this post on this forum

the author of this thread had the same motherboard as me and he claims that have a hyper 212 EVO installed in his rig and I´m assuming he didn´t have any issues at mounting it.

has anyone tried to mount this heatsink on an OEM motherboard with bearing mechanism? I´m just wanna make sure that this heatsink will fit my motherboard without any problems before I ordered it. thanks in advance for your help.

Mounting shouldn't be a problem with the universal mounting bracket but Case clearance might be since a Evo is something like 160mm. Replacing Dell CPU fans with something else will give you an Error on booting as well.
