Honestly, 120mm AIOs are not worth it, get this cooler or something similar, i know this particular one outperforms the hyper 212 evo and will fit in your case

So I'm planning on buying the Air 240, but I was told that the Hyper 212 wont fit?

Can someone confirm or deny?

If confirmed, what would you suggest as an alternative? 
I'm currently getting 40C Idle, 50-60C Gaming, 60-65C Gaming and recording with a stock fan.

won't fit, the hyper 212 evo is 159mm high, the case has 120mm clearence, you need a low profile cooler or an AIO.

I was looking but low profile coolers tend to be more expensive and in this particular situation i think an AIO would be easier and even cheaper

NP bro ^^. I actually had a case where my 212 plus didn't fit so I had to go without the side panel, the amount of dust still hunts me in my nightmares :blink:.

 

 

Not sure if it's good, but there is a newer version of this CM Seidon 120v Rev. 2.

I'm considering that one for my own build, the reviews are decent.

The one I linked; I looked at the reviews... a good number of them failed within months.... Isn't that normally a bad sign?

Yeah that's pretty bad, maybe that's why they came with the revised version ^^.

Sorry I was looking at the price on PCpartpicker, not sure what you have to do to get that extra $25 discount.

According to CM's website it's compatible with LGA1150 (http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-liquid-cooler/seidon-120m/).

Dude, those are the fan's dimensions, the cooler's is in inches, just check out cooler master's website, scroll to the bottom, there is a diagram in milimiters.

And i think you meant 25, not 55.
