I'd just like to know if a hyper 212x can fit on an ITX motherboard without obstructing the GPU or the RAM, it's not the height I'm worried about its the width.

It depends..?

If you get low profile RAM it shouldn't me a huge issue, I'd be more concerned about fitting it in the case.

I have low profile RAM and the height isn't a problem

But is there any chance of it obstructing a GPU on an ITX motherboard?

As it says in this post the Hyper 212 Evo (which is the predecessor to the X) has a 180W TDP (CM doesn't provide any info on that on their site), and on bequiet's site it says the Pure Rock slim has a 120W TDP. 180W>120W so the Hyper 212 cools better.

Manufacturers don't measure specs in the same way and that includes TDP. 

TDP is also a pretty bad spec to base cooling off of when it's not taken that seriously on the cpu side.

It depends on the motherboard and how the cooler is mounted. 

A PR Slim or PR would be quieter than the 212 Evo and keep your temps in check.

If you're worried about blocking the pcie slot, the smaller PR Slim would be a wiser choice.
