Hyper 212 Evo

[ObeseWalrus]

Since 2011 I have used the Intel stock cooler and now I'm looking for something a little better since I'll be upgrading to a Define R4 from a HAF. Should I take the 212 and put some matching white Fractal fans on it or should I keep it with stock fans.

Both are not very high end fans but you will see quite an improvement from stock intel fan. I think it only comes with one fan.

Fractal Fans are actually properly horrid. They advertise them as silent but they are so very far from it

 

Well so is the stock fan on the 212 *shrugs*

When it's cold in my house a hyper 212 cools my 3570k to around 20c (one of the cores is usually 10c) at idle and full load it's about 40c

I'm using sickleflow fans with blue LEDs and they're pretty bad

Get a BE QUIET! Dark Rock Pro 2 if you want good looks and good performance.

I would say get any noctua, even though they are expensive, they are worth it

Can I get some performance numbers for these fans?
