upgrading to hyper 212 evo help

[LuLWaT]

Hey

So I am going to be upgrading my stock Intel CPU cooler to a Hyper 212 Evo. I want to get the most out of it so I'm not sure whether I should just keep it as it is or buy two after-market fans to attach to the heat-sink. I'm pretty sure having a push/pull configuration would be the best. Can anyone tell me the best things to do so I can optimise my cooler. Fan recommendations would be appreciated if you think it will improve the cooling. Thanks!

you dont want to buy heatsink and the replace fans to make it quiet, its expensive

 

you want to buy quieter cpu cooler in the same price region like Enermax T40. Its quieter, but similar ( tiny bit better performance ). there might be other options too depending where you live and if there are better other deals

 

Where are you from?

 

also if you want quiet and good performing cpu cooler, you should buy better heatsink not just attach 2 fans on heatsink that performs worse with same fan setup-

just keep stock, it manages to keep my overclocked 8120 in my spare rig nice and chilly with just the 1 stock, fan, spending a fortune on aftermarket fans is a bad idea and push/pull only reduces temps if theres too much of a restriction for the fans to overcome which is only a thing you need to worry about in bad fans and only knocks off maybe a degree or 2 at best.

i suggest you google the fan reviews and see what it performs against, its usually only a few degrees off bigger coolers costing more than double and about the same temps, beyond using 8mm heatpipes instead of 6mm ones theres not much way you can improve a tower heatsink despite what most companies marketing claims.-edit-fyi ive already done this and the only results that stuck out from what every other review site said is tiny tom logans and he spreads thermal paste so its easy to throw those results out as an anomaly as much as the dudes awesome...

edit-edit- screw it did it for ya.

typically 2*c off an nh-d14 which costs 3x more and weights twice as much. (and in some tests is louder)

Mine only drop 1-2 celcius in push/pull so i stick with 1 fan.

You get barely any performance increase with push-pull. All you gain is noise. Just stick with the stock fan, it's already really good.

I've used the Hyper 212, and the fan that came with it was fairly quiet, especially over PWM. The GPU was louder.

4670 Stock cooler under load 72*c in an INSTANT and climbs to 75-80*c (Depending on day warmth)

/w the Hyper it dropped to barely touching 60*c after a few hours of gaming or the dedicated hour of video encoding, and doesn't instantly get to 60*c either, takes a while.

Huge difference in noise, so quiet its inaudible over my PSU fan when I'm @ load.
