Raidmax is one of those companies that many enthusiasts are not aware has been around since 1988. However, must of us know them as a second tier brand which provides builders with budget oriented cases, power supplies, and fans. Most of the time, their current chassis line-up constitutes of mid or full towers, but recently a shy amount of small form factor cases has made way to introduce Raidmax into this growing market. Among these cases is the Raidmax Atomic, and it’s bigger brother, the Hyperion which is the case being reviewed in this article.
Like many other popular Micro-ATX cases, Raidmax has opted for a dual chamber design. However, note that this is not as wide as others like the Fractal Design Node 804, but still manages to fit plenty of fans, 3.5″ and 2.5″ drives, and they even added a 5.25″ bay. The case is not exactly eye candy, however many HTPC users will find that the overall design is not flashy, but rather elegant and simple. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the Raidmax Hyperion Micro-ATX computer case.
The Features & Specifications were easily found on Raidmax’s website. In here you will also find the vast amount of configurations that you can install inside the Raidmax Hyperion, as well as any product compatibility. You can also see that the Raidmax Hyperion comes in four colors, white, pink, titanium and black which is the one featured in this review.

I was wondering if you could give me the inside dimensions of the case, if you still have access to it. I’m doing a case mod and I’d really like to know how big the inside cavity of the case is. Thanks

The CPU clearance on the website is 155mm while according to the above 6.75 (which is around 171mm). so would like to confirm is the correct one 155mm on website or actually the case can take more (171mm)? thanks

I apologize there was a mistake. I didn’t take into consideration the motherboard standoff’s height and the thickness of the processor/motherboard. The CPU clearance is 6.10 ” or around 157 mm, however please note that CPU coolers usually don’t advertise exact heights. If you have a CPU cooler in mind that you plan to install I can gladly check clearance for you.

My CPU cooler is Cooler Master Evo212. Please check the clearance for me 😀
because if my current cooler can’t go in… than i have to replace (thinking with ID cooling IS 60)
Advice for cooler if my current cooler can’t go in please (prefer air cooling).
Thanks before

My current cooler that plan to be used at this case is Cooler Master Evo 212.
FYI my set up is Asus P8Z77 I deluxe (ITX) with corsair vengeance ram
Need advice if my current cooler can’t go in. Deepcool gabriel or ID Cooling is50 preferable Air cooling

I have never heard from ID cooling, but both the Deepcool gabriel and the ID cooling is50 will fit if you use low profile ram (according to measurements from their respective websites). However the Corsair Vengeance ram is a bit too high so I would instead consider the cooler master hyper T4 which is a smaller version of the Hyper 212 evo measuring just 153 mm (although it will be a very tight fit). If you want something a bit smaller, the silverstone ar06 is a guaranteed fit no matter what.
