Cpu cooler help !

Can someone calculate if the Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo fits inside the Fractal Design Node 304 with the off-centered socket on the Asrock Z87E-ITX?

Look up the dimensions to be sure if not get something different if you cant fit a cm 212 you will prob need a water cooler or low profile cooler.

I don't know what you mean by off-centered or why would you need it. Node 304 supports 165mm coolers as is.

 Yeah and the Coolermaster Hyper 212 is 159mm tall so I think it would fit,

 I don't think it is off centred that's just how Mini-ITX Mobos are arranged differently

There are alot of ITX boards with sockets near the PCIe slot that are generally incompatible with tower coolers.

 

However, after taking a look at your mobo I'd say your biggest concern should be ram clearance as the 212 evo will have to overlap your ram. Being an ITX builder who uses a tower cooler currently, I'd look into liquid cooling as it works much better in smaller enclosures.

Will it also fit a Cougar Volant case?

It should fit perfectly as long as it doesn't collide with your ram. Although the Cougar Volant does only support matx/atx motherboards.

I have a 1stick G.skill ripjawsx ram. Installed at the First slot. Should I move it?

What motherboard do you have?

Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2 rev1

Ill soon upgrade to a 990FX-UD3

Sorry for invading this thread. Might as well ask instead kf making another thread

[RapeGod]

It should be fine on the GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 as the two first sticks go farthest from the gpu. So you could get another stick too without problems.

On your current board, you only have two slots. I can't say sure about your current board, but atleast you could fit one fan on the other side of the cooler. If you want to do push-pull on your current board, you may have to raise the fan near the RAM slots a little bit.
