Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
Pros: This product is a dream. My pc is soo much quieter now. I replaced my stock AMD FX cooler for this one.. and it makes a noticeable difference in sound. Temps are down too.. about 10 degrees average. The design of the heatsink is beautiful.. I'm truly glad to have it in my case. I liked that it came with brackets to mount an additional 120mm fan.
Cons: Its big. You should double check your case dimensions before ordering. Mine is literally touching the side panel, and it's kindof a pain to close. But, I can't really fault the Evo... I have a cheap case. Other than that.. I guess the directions could have been easier to follow. But I'm nitpicking at this point.
Overall Review: Good luck with your Evo if you decide to purchase it. It truly is whisper quiet, even when running games at maxed out settings.
Updated review after six months
Pros: I have already written a review on this case when I first bought it and well my opinions haven't changed. There have been some developments though in regards to build quality.
Cons: Front panel is cheap. This almost warrants not buying the case. The hd and power led's both died. Both USB 3's are mounted upside down, for what??? Also, one of my USB 3 only works for power, doesn't recognize flash media or external drives. I can't speak for the front panel audio because I don't use. Wish I could remove 5.25 bays for another 120mm intake fan. I think that would help my temps.
Overall Review: In hindsight, I would put 60 dollars towards something else.
