Posted December 12, 2018 Hi all, Was just wondering if the hyper 212 evo will be good enough for the i7 9700k, I won't be doing any overclocking. So was just wondering if it will be good enough for stock speeds. I mainly game and do some light photoshop. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 12, 2018 If you're not overclocking it will be fine, but honestly I'd still get a better one just in case you do in the future.

Posted December 12, 2018 I genuinely wouldn't run a 212 Evo with a 9700K. That cooler was made for something like the 2600K, from ~7 years ago. Check out my guide on how to scan cover art here!

Posted December 13, 2018 D15 is overkill. U14S is more suitable. Or any other 140mm tower, or even premium 120mm. There are also better budget coolers than 212. ^^^^ That's my post ^^^^ <-- This is me --- That's your scrollbar --> vvvv Who's there? vvvv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
