Can I fit a Hyper 212 Evo into my existing setup?
Can I fit a Hyper 212 Evo into my existing setup?
Here is the picture you shared for reference.
(My setup includes a ruler to help measure distances.)
I have a Switch 810 with a GA-z77-ds3h motherboard.
There are two Low Profile Corsair Vengeance 1866mhz DDR3 RAM sticks on the left and two High Profile Corsair Vengeance 1866mhz DDR3 RAM sticks on the right.
My concern is whether these will interfere with a Hyper 212 EVO cooler that has a 120mm PWM fan.
The high-profile RAM seems tall, and my friend says it might not fit.
Should I be worried? Is this a significant problem?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated—thank you!
it's tough to confirm the radiator won't overhang the ram, and the fan can indeed be adjusted up and down since it only has a grip rather than being fixed. I'd say you're safe.
But if you're concerned, just persuade your friend to take it out and hold it in place on your setup to check compatibility.

Exceptional Fit
No RAM conflicts
Emphasizing broad compatibility, the H7 features an asymmetric slanted heatpipe design that keeps the heatsink away from the RAM area. This ensures ideal performance with both Intel 115X and AMD systems.

I possess a product that won't let you be let down.
Apologies for not asking this earlier (my error). I have some Arctic Silver 5 available at home, and when setting up the cooler, should I opt for the Arctic Silver 5 or the thermal paste included with the H7? Which option will provide superior results?
