I had ordered cm hyper 212 and the antec a400 for phenom x4 955, mobo: M4A88TD-M/USB3.
Both are not fitting.
Amd provides the clip on feature of cpu cooler but i find that both the cpu coolers clips are shorter in size !!

faced clip issue with fitting stock amd cooler and I'm not a fan of that. Can't comment on Antec A400 but CM Hyper 212 should be easier to install as it's mounts with bolts and nuts instead of clips on AMD platform as far as I know.

Yeah i agree but that frame they supplied was small in size as in the 2 bolts were off by 1-2mm.
Which now makes me wonder maybe the cm cooler might have been a knock off.
But then antec would not also fit as well.
I have a feeling that because it has been so long, AMD has changed the AM3 dimensions by about a mm or so and all these coolers now adhere to the new spec.
