^^ yep, it will fit but you may not be able to use the TOP side panel fan and top fans on the roof area.

Cooler Master Hyper N620 CPU Cooler

Is this cooler compatible with LGA1155 socket? Cooler Master website does not mention it. I want to buy it for i7 2600K.

My core i7 2600k is showing a temp of over 40C in BIOS, but in Windows (RealTemp) it is 32-33C. Are these figures OK? And why is it showing ~10C more in BIOS?

Cooler is N620 with stock thermal paste.

Because in BIOS CPU power saving features are not activated and also theres a bit of load(UEFI), so the extra temps. Its ok.

I would be buying asus P8Z68M-Pro mobo with i5-2500k , corsair vengeance 2x4 GB RAM sticks and an aftermarket cooler. I've chosen following coolers:
1. Antec Kuhler Box AP CPU Cooler
2. Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Cooler

Will any of these coolers interfere with my corsair RAM sticks(moreover it is a uATX mobo)?

Hyper 212 Evo shouldn't have any problem. Not much idea about the Antec.
