I have an FX6300 cpu and a Antec 900 case. What after market cpu cooler would fit in this case?
 
Something like a 212 EVO should fit .. Or any of the All In One coolers
 
I had a Phenom 2 cooler and am using it for now it seems to be doing the job. No overclocking of course. It'll have to do for now. The cooler that came with the FX6300 looked crappy.:)
 
Depending on the location of the CPU socket on that board you may run into problems with the Antec 900s side panel fan if it is populated and a taller tower heatsink.

My Thermalright Ultra 120 was fine with one board but when I swapped to a different board the cooler was coming into contact with the 120mm fan I had on the side panel.

All I had to do was cut off one of the corners of the fan and it then fit fine.
 
That's the problem with the Antec 900 its not wide a enough case the side fan sticks out enough to interfere with tall coolers. I tried an Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo the cooler interfered with the side fan. So for now the Phenom 2 cooler will have to do. A new case is on the way. :cool:
