I am getting an fx 8350 and a cooler master hyper 212x for cooling. do you have any suggestions about going for a different cooler in this price range? also I want to know what fan would be good as a second fan for the 212x and if it's ok to run mismatched fans. thanks in advance

CM Jetflo's are good fans for the budget buyer and are decent enough as second fan for the 212 EVO

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

i would reccomend a different cpu but if you want that one than that would be a good budget overclocking cooler

Please follow your topics guys, it's very important! CoC F.A.Q  Please use the corresponding PC part picker link for your country USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Spain, Italy, New Zealand and Germany

Will a cooler master xtra flow be good enough?

 

I think those are what come with the 212 Evo anyways, so that would be good. You might just need a splitter cable for your mobo to fit both on the cpu fan header (unless you have a CPU OPT or something that mimics the cpu header)

 

I used the 212 for a while, its a great budget cooler. I upgraded to a Phanteks cooler and dropped my temps around 8-10 degrees C, but it costs prob 2-2.5x the 212.
