Now place the BASE of the CR Origami Case Depth Checker directly on top of your CPU, so that the four sides of the BASE wraps perfectly around the protruding lid of the CPU. Now run a piece of thread through the openings of the CR Origami Case Depth Checker. Pull the thread to the sides of your case. If the sides of your case is stepped, then remember to pull the ends of the thread to the lowest point of the sides of your case. Where the thread intersects with the CR Origami Case Depth Checker marks your case’s CPU cooler height tolerance. *If your case has a side panel fan, then you will need to deduct the thickness of the fan from your CPU height tolerance.
