Alright, that's a relief. Thanks for the help!

the 212 evo is a very good performer for its price. As for testing, realbench and intel burn test/linpack are both heavy hitters but not quite as bad as P95. I don't recommend P95 because it's way over the top extreme. Aida 64 is more realistic for a heavy load, but I prefer ibt/linpack as it's not quite as hard as realbench, but definitely harder than any game.

Hm alright. I see what you're saying. I think I'll keep it at stock until I do a lot more research myself anyway. Thanks for the help!
