Welcome to the forum!

From the Cooler Master HAF 912 FAQ page

Question: What is the maximum CPU cooler height supported?
Answer: The maximum height should be 170mm. The CPU cooler does not interfere with the side fan.

So it looks like it'll fit. What ya gonna be cooling....Seems kinda pricey and with 170mm to play with it seems like you could find a cheaper alternative.

Save some money and go with a CM 212+. Smaller, cheaper, 90% of the cooling capacity. I've seen people doing 4.6-4.8GHz on their 25K/26Ks with a 212. The C12 is just expensive and beastly. If you are even thinking of going that route at all go all the way and get a D14(may not fit).

Some people are doing 5ghz with a 212+ ... :biggrin:

No good reason to spend more...
