212 Isn't an incredibly loud cooler. What chip is under it? Have you tried changing the fan curve?

A lot of this info giving is wrong. The rgb version is not that good. It's louder than the other 212s and preforms poorly compared the the other 212's. The evo 212 black is the best of them. Better fin stack and a fan that is much much better with lower noise and higher static pressure. 

 

@wukashin the other issue you have is your case. The case has a quit restrictive intake for air. 

 

If your happy with your temps. A change in the fan may do the trick. I'd recommend an arctic p12 pwm. They are awesome. Really quiet, high static pressure, and easy on the wallet @ under $10. 

 

Some other coolers that are better

Fuma 2 (med )

Ninja 5 (large)

Dark rock 4 ( large)

Dark rock 4 pro ( large)

Assassin king 120 plus (med)

Frost spirit 140 ( large ) 

 

I could list some more but I think that's good.

 

Off the top of my head I believe all these will fit in your case but may want to double check. 

 

I don't know what your current fan config is for your case, but 2x 140mm high static pressure intake fans would help. Once again I'd recommend arctic. But the p14. Although you can get a t pack of p12's for 30$. 120's would be be fine in the front too. You would be able to run you config like

2x front

Push pull on the cooler 

1x rear

Or single on the cooler leaving you with an extra fan.

 

 

Additional improvement would be a new Case:

P300a

P400a

Lian li lancool 2 performance 

Meshify c 

 

Are all great option. 

 

Hope that helps
