Forum Overclocking : Heatsinks & Air Cooling [Solved] Will CM Hyper 212 fit in InWin Dragonslayer matx

My wife bought me an "InWin Dragonslayer matx" case to kickstart my gaming rig. I'm building around an intel core i5 2500k and possibly an Asus AP8H61-MLX mobo with 4GB G.Skill Ripjaws 1333 kit. I plan to overclock to 4Ghz. I'm not too sure about the stock heatsink so I wanna replace it with a CM Hyper 212. Will it fit in my case?

Best answer

The Hyper 212+ is approximately 6.25 inches tall. Your case is 7.7 inches wide. It should fit. Good luck!

Agree on this BUT always that your case don't have a side fan.

Agreed, do not install a side fan. Otherwise, it will not fit and you shouldn't need a side fan any way.
