Case That supports CM Hyper 212X

[maaz]

Hey guys I need to upgrade my case and cooling. I decided to go with the CM Hyper 212X and now I am stuck for case. I really like the Corsair Carbide Spec 03 but not sure if it will fit. Corsair site says it supports a max cooler height of 157mm and I think the Hyper 212X is around 160mm. Can anyone recommend another case and is the Hyper 212X the right choice. My budget for the case is +/- R1000.000.

I'd test the fit first if the difference is that small, it might be possible to mod your case to get it to fit also.

I don't think I will be able to return the case if the cooler doesn't fit.

Did you Youtube it? Sounds silly but there are lots of vids of the 212 installations on Youtube and you might find the case you looking at in the installation.

I found a corsair c70 vengeance in white, so I am going with that getting it for R1k so I am happy now thanks for the help guys much appreciated.

Great case. I saw this image of internal temperatures vs ambient temperatures and the C70 had one of the coolest internal temps.
