The bulge in the side panel makes me think it will fit fine. Just do what I did when I bought my first 212, buy it....and find out for yourself. Well for me it turned out I had to run my PC without a side panel for a few months but it was definitely worth it lol

I am wondering between CM T4 and 212 Evo. It says that my case will fit a 155mm cooler and the 212evo is 159mm.

The T4 will fit just fine (152mm) but since I am on AM3+, it can be installed only horizontally which I don't find efficient in my case.

 

There are some buldges in my case's side panel which could help with the clearance, but I am not sure if it will truly fit. As you know sometimes the heatpipe ends are a bit deformed and could be higher than advertised.

 

So, did anyone tried to fit 212 in a case with a spec "155mm clearance for cooler"?

 

Thanks :)

It's probably not compatible then.

If you really want you can bring out a measure tape and test it yourself.

Thanks guys. Ordering it now. Better fit, if not, there will be a "devine intervention" for that side panel :)
