212X or CRYORIG H7

[Trav_X]

Which one? Looked into Both and they seem so similar, I'm just not sure what to do  the H7 is like a few bucks cheaper, like $2-3 USD a which isn't much. Any comparisons online? All the ones I've seen are H7 vs 212 EVO, not 212X

cryorg h7 because its only 35 rk

h7

i honestly still dont like any of the 212 coolers. imo they're ugly, and the mount looks dodgy as hell.

The 212x i think the only difference between it and evo is that it has a newer fan design (someone correct me if im wrong) and the h7 generally is a degree or two cooler than the evo while looking better, being quieter, and being smaller, so it fits in most cases.

Also the thermal paste that comes with the Cryorig is quite good, it\s fairly close to Noctua NT-H1

I vote H7. If my H5 Ultimate is anything to go by, CRYORIG coolers are the bomb.

The H7 I own (see signature) has a lower min fan speed compared to the Evo 212 or 212X with 330RPM (depending on the software irl more like 400RPM). The H7 comes also with a second metal thing to attach a second fan if necessary. RAM inteference is no problem at all. I can only tell you about the H7 because I do not own the Hyper Evo, a friend of mine does, but that is not very reliable if I start about his experience.

 

EDIT: The RPM range of the Evo seems to be 600RPM-1600RPM, the H7 has 330RPM-1600RPM. In idle it will be more silent.

The 212x is very similar to the 212 Evo and they are similar to the H7 in performance. Just pick whatever is cheaper.

How do you think a H7 performs against a H55?

the same, 120mm aio's preform as much as a cheap air tower, they are not worth it

Well, the H55 is only barely $10 more than a H7 or 212X, so if the temps are marginally better  but I kinda want to go liquid so I'm not sure

Im pretty sure the 212 evo actually outperforms the H55, but only by a degree or two, the evo is nearly equal to an H60.

[handymanshandle]

H7 all the way. I don't have one but I'd rather use that or the H5 Ultimate over the 212.

I agree totally with @manikyath

If you really want to go water then get something like an h100i or a kraken x61. The difference between the h55 and the h7 or 212x isn't really enough to warrant more noise and another point of failure.

 

For air coolers i would go with the h7, better looks and generally better build quality.

Also mounting the 212x can be a pain by yourself,the h7 is a little easier.

I've owned both an 212 Evo and an H7, they are quite similar in performance with the H7 maybe marginally better - assuming your case gets plenty of fresh airflow.  I like the 212 mounting system better - you can easily mount the heat sink with the mobo lying flat.  Unlike the H7, which requires physical access to the rear of the mobo when mounting the sink (you basically bolt it in from the backside.)  The H7 visually looks better IMO, and it is a tad bit shorter - about half an inch, if space is limited.

 

But I don't think any of those differences warrant paying more, so I'd go with whichever had the better price.

Alright  I'll probably go with an H7, the looks is important and the 212X is 158mm tall and my P400S case only has a limit of 160mm which would be cutting it quite close  thanks for your input

I would but my budget is limiting me to like $50 or less in terms of CPU cooler so I can get the other parts I want

How do you think an H5 would perform over an H7? I could probably get an H5 ultimate In my budget

What would you say a H7 would do in comparison to an H5 Ultimate? My budget could probably allow the $10-$15 difference if it's worth the cost.

The H5 Ultimate is much better against... let me find my thread I had asking a out the h7 and H5...

 

Though I might be doing a NZXT Kraken X61 instead... My budget might be able to accodate the X61 now.... Still would get the H5 if I wanted to save some money...

The H5 Ultimate is definitely too big for your case, and the Universal might be as well. The H7 is an outstanding little cooler that will serve you well as long as you're not looking to break clock speed records on a 9590 with it.

CRYORIG is overrated. Thermalright is the real best.
