I'm using a coolermaster storm enforcer, and i was planning on changing my cooler to a cryorig h7/ hyper 212x, and i was wondering if the cutout behind is big enough to install the cooler while the motherboard is inside the case.

Anyone with the same case has any experience with this?

Havent used Cryorig's mounting before so I dont know, but definitely not the 212X. The backplate is too big.

 

Besides, taking the mobo out is faster because the sides and top of the case also makes it difficult.

The backplate isn't too big. https://pcpartpicker.com/b/88ccCJ

The H7's backplate is about the same size.
