Hello i just recently bought a amd fx-8120 cpu and am wondering what cooler will fit in my case (Thermaltake V6), i was looking at the coolermaster hyper 212+ but am not sure if it will fit (touch the side panel or cover a slot for ram). reviews said it is quite large if you have any recommendations as to another cooler (same price range) that will fit i love to know.

Spec.
Thermaltake V6 chasis
asrock 970 extreme3
16 gigs ddr3 gskill 1600 ripjaws
Amd fx-8120 Cpu
Antec high current gamer series hcg-750 psu
saphire Radeon hd 6850
 
You should be good with the Coolermaster Hyper 212+. If the fan does cover up a RAM slot, you can just switch the fan around to the other side. Hope this helped.

As far as I know you can swap out the fan just has to 120mm.
The Hyper 212+ should be fine for you. You can also try the Freezer 7 pro rev.2. These two are the best price/performance ratio cooler in the market.
I agree that the Freezer 7 pro rev.2 is a decent cooler. It is more expensive than the Hyper 212+, it also doesn't move as much air.
