sure it will. as pparks1 said, cm hyper 212 is one of some with best price performance aftermarket hsf cooler. But if you'd like to spend a bit more then you can buy Corsair H60 which has a universal retention kits. My Chasis is CM Scout too, and by having Hydro Cooler, our hardware setup will look cleaner with well-managed cable management. I still am modding some more and planning to cover my 24 pin cable power with spiral hoses. ( I'll update my pics soon ).

The Freezer 7 has a pretty good reputation also. It is often used as a replacement for the stock cooler, but is quieter and OK for modest overclocks. The Hyper 212 is probably a better choice for overclockers. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one

^ And I never look to liquid cooling as I never push my overclocks all that hard and simply don't need the extra performance provided by the sealed liquid cooling systems. Heck, my current overclock of my Q9550 from 2.83Ghz to 3.40Ghz is running on the stock Intel Cooler and has given me no troubles now for 2.5 years. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self-Built in July 2009
