Hyper 212

Hi I'm currently using an i5 3570k and the intel stock CPU cooler that comes with the CPU and I'm hitting 75-82 under load . Was thinking on getting the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus Direct Touch but will I see much of a differance with this air cooler from the stock intel one I have installed.

Yes, you will definitely lower your temps. Cooler Master's Hyper series is very well regarded. You might want to switch to the Hyper 212 EVO, since its newer and performs a bit better.

I would get the EVO it is about 5-10 dollars more (USD), and is significantly better.

If an aftermarket fan did not give you better temperatures than a stock cooler, it would simply not exist.

I have the hyper 212 evo. I am running a FX-6300 OC'ed to 4.2ghz and under 100% load it never gets over 50 degrees Celsius.

Ok cool thanks for the help I ended up ordering the Evo and an extra 120m fan so I can do push/pull excited for it to get here so I can see cooler temps

[Dexterity]

Push pull is not needed.

Evo is better and smoother surface, but has a crappy fan,

Plus gives a better fan, but not as smooth.

Its really your choice on which cooler to get.

just installed the evo in push pull and my temps went from 100c in bf3 to 55c at 4.2ghz overclock really really happy with this cooler compared to the stock intel cooler i was using

100c is blazing high, lucky your cpu didnt crap out.

yea those temps are pretty good but I think you shouldn't have played BF3 if the temps were that high. It could have weared your cpu very badly if you were running on those temps for a long time. Like Darell3 said its very amazing that your cpu didn't get any damage from that temp.
