Hyper 212 evo replacement

[Changrai]

I really like my cooler but i want something quiter. My budget is around $100. I want something around the same size. So no nhd15 etc. Oh and no noctua btw dont like the color.

 

1150 support

Have you tried doing a custom fan curve?

If the fan is slow enough it will be very quiet.

Why not just change the fan on your 212? beQuiet makes some great fans for far less than $100.

Silent Wings 2, QF120 Balance or Performance, even an Aerocool DS with the low noise cable if you don't mind voltage control or SpeedFan instead of PWM, though I personally much prefer PWM for heatsinks.

If your just changing fans, EK vardar are also excellent choices if you go with the low rpm variants. Pairing one (or two depending on workable space) on a corsair h60 would be an excellent upgrade form a 212 and would be under $100.

IMO, 120mm AIOs are a complete waste of money. They're outperformed by similarly priced air coolers.

There is no way to get better performance without going with a larger cooler.

 

But if your current temps are good I would agree that slowing the fan down will substantially reduce noise.

The best option is probably the NF-S12A if you have already tried lowering the fan speed but still aren't satisfied.
