Will the CPU cooler fit in the case?

[Raihan Ahmed]

Few questions all related to OC'ing
Case: cooler master k 280
CPU: AMD X4 750k
MOBO:F2A75M-D3H
CPU cooler: cooler master hyper 212 evo

plan is to OC the cpu using that mobo which i heard isnt very good at OC, whats your opinions and views?

At the current moment this is the only cooler that seems good but i have no idea if it will fit in this case. if not do you guys recomend any others that will.
thanks

It's fine. These chips are such low power that even really sucky boards with shoddy VRM have good overclocks.

Check out the Gemini and Kama style coolers. Even an H40 would keep this chip cool.

Assuming you mean the k280 and not a "k 208", yes, that cooler will fit.

From CM - "CPU cooler height: 162mm / 6.4 inch"

PC Part Picker says it will fit. Normally it throws up a warning when you input parts that won't fit.
