Installing Hyper 212 Evo

[Guest]

Hey everyone, so when I built my computer I built it fully with the stock CPU cooler in, ran tests etc. And now I am looking to install my new Hyper 212 evo.

 

I was wondering if I should disassemble everything and then install the cooler, or if I could just install it in the case. 

 

Thanks

If you can get the backplate on while it's the case, build it in the case.

If your case has a CPU cut out (large cut out on the case itself that lets you access the back of your motherboard without removing it), then just use that and install the cooler. If it doesn't then you will have to remove the motherboard.

Also, can I use hydrogen peroxide to rub off the thermal paste?

most people use rubbing alcohol and a coffee filter.

It will be as effective as using hot water. The alcohol is to break down the componds and oils. The Hydrogen Peroxide should not hurt anything though.

Pretty much, if you have a cpu cutout behind your motherboard on your case, do it while it's still inside the case, otherwise if you're having difficulty installing it, take out any existing GPU and try that or you just might have to disassemble it.

take you you gpu to prevent you accidentally scratching the back of the pcb if you do it in the case.

I would do it in the case since it will be easier imo if your case has a cpu cutout. This is a good video in installing this cooler imo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWG73Mom4cY

 

hydrogen peroxide will probably work and I would use a lint free cloth/coffee filter in order to clean the cpu.

Just use isopropyl alcohol and you should be fine
