Hi there. I am interested in a new hsf as the intel stock hsf is not working properly. Now I would like to know if the hyper 212 hsf is compatible with the antec 900 case?
I have read that this hsf can block the side window panel fan. Is this true?
 
The fan on that CoolerMaster model is actually smaller in size being a 90mm fan there over the 120mm seen on the Zalman CNPS 9700 in use here in the 900 case. It should go right in without problems being no larger then the Zalman.

The 9700 doesn't block the side window being larger in size seeing the large array of copper fins. There's a good review on that compared to the Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro seen at http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2007/11/19/cooler_master_hyper_tx2_and_212/1

"The build quality is very good and the 90mm sleeve bearing cooling fan is rated at just 22dB. It's designed to draw air in from the sides as well as the front before forcing it inwards - as a result, Cooler Master claims that this gives the effective cooling of a 100mm fan instead."

This is what is seen in the review at the link posted earlier without going to newegg or the manufacturer's own site.
 
The Zalman here could have a 140mm fan and still go in. The array of copper fins seen on the 9700 look a bit larger in comparison.
 
I like the Zerotherm NV120 better than either one

Aluminum fins reminds me of a stock hsf more then anything. I'll still take the Zalman over the two others seen there especially the heigth seen as well as the black frame around the center one. When the tip of one blade was caught up in the array the temps read 107C for the cpu while the 9700 was the one that simply threw the heat away from cpu by the free air movement around all sides as well as the copper fins.
