Yeh, you're right, I just popped off the right panel and the cpu socket is visible with the bracket too.

Okay, and you think the 212 evo will fit okay with what I have?


yea i think so 212 is basically tailored to any midsize case, but you can measure the clearance from your motherboard to the side panel and then look up the 212's size in comparison.

looks like the 212 is 159mm tall

212 is solid cooler, iBUYPOWER AIO's do not have the greatest reviews/dependency and if they have it mounted incorrectly it will deplete the liquid much faster and kill the cooler also.

Seeing as how it's been about 1 year before you had this problem, it is most likely the cooler failure. The plastic tab left on would have had more immediate issues with overheating, and thermal paste once or twice a year should be reapplied as well for general maintenance.

GL hope it's the cooler!

I just checked with ibuypowers customer support and they said it should fit as the case width is 210mm.

I do have the motherboard full of ram sticks so hopefully that wont get in the way, but it looks like it might.

It also looks like my gpu may get in the way as well.

Do you know if there is a site or app that lets you put pats together and visually know if you have clearance based on where the gpu is located?
