A Hyper 212 Evo can work but there are often better options. Where are you shopping / located? Budget?

What ram are you using and what are your priorities?

I'm using Amazon UK, Scan Computers and pretty much any reputable UK based business. I initially looked at £150 as I was considering the Kraken x63, my ram is 32 GB cl18 3600 Corsair RGB pro. 

 

I prefer the looks of the x63 however, I just wanted to consider all options available.

 

Thank you

I bought a used Hyper 212 for a bargain price, you can also get the Vetroo V5 for similar cooling performance at a low cost.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

The Kraken X63 is plenty for cooling and arguably overkill.

If you wanted to save a bit of money, the AS500 would be a good alternative with a similar mostly black / hint of rgb aesthetic. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/cmH7YJ/thermaltake-toughair-510-5835-cfm-cpu-cooler-cl-p075-al12bl-a
