It'll work. Just make sure you're not spending a ton on the Hyper 212, any more than about $20 is way too much for one of those when you can get a Vetroo V5 for about $20 brand new that will perform bett

Thanks for that, I was going to pay $55 for that cooler. I will look into what you suggested!

Have you looked at PCPartPicker.com? It can help save quite a bit on PC component selection. And, it has a built in compatibility filter.

 

Are you buying in the United States?

If you are buying the CPU cooler new, it will include thermal paste in the package. Cooler master provides a small tube with all of their hyper 212 coolers.

Also, I would recommend buying any of the 8th or 9th gen i7 models, and consider buying used. The prices on them for new are not great

Also I don't like the thought of buying a CPU used.
