Best alternative to liquid cooling, but bad fan. 08/15/2014
This review is from: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151
Pros:
Keeps my FX 6300 stock speeds running cool under 40C at all times (I think peak is around 50C, MAYBE). Definitely a great budget alternative if you're still a liquid cooling skeptic (like me). Comes with fan brackets if you want to use any other 120MM fan (WHICH IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED).
Cons:
The fan that this comes with is noisy! Even cleaning and oiling it still made so much noise compared to the case fans my case came with (which I am now using as the heatsink fan).
Do yourself a favor and buy a quality 120MM fan, do not use the one that comes with this!
Overall Review:
For anyone who still thinks air cooling is a viable choice (which still is) then you can't go wrong with the Hyper 212 EVO. Just make sure to replace the heatsink fan unless you like playing with a lawnmower!
