    Urgent Help Needed.

    I recently bought all the components to build a budget pc.
    I am putting it all together now and I have been greeted by a problem (maybe).

    The problem I have is that I bought this case (Here) and this heatsink (Here) and the heatsink touches the side of the case (when it is all assembled).

    It is only a small connection, it is only the tops of about 4 of the copper pointy bits sticking out of the top that touch the case (See Here).

    Will this be a major problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    p.s. The Hyper 212 heatsink is MASSIVE.

    not really a prob tbh
    My Tuniq Tower 120 pokes out the side of my case so far I leave the case side off. Keeps things plenty cool, but needs weekly hoovering to keep dust at bay.

    Re: Urgent Help Needed.

    Thanks for the responses, if its not a problem I will continue as planned.

    I can shut the case fine, it is only a tiny connection. I will probably end up beating the side panel with a rubber mallet until it fits perfectly.
