Monday after work I am going to grab one of these

COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO RR-212E-20PK-R2 Continuous Direct Contact 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler Compatible with latest Intel 2011/1366/1155 and AMD FM1/FM2/AM3+ - Newegg.com

what do you think, have a better recommendation? I work about five miles fro Fry's so I will grab it instead of using newegg

Hi Dude

I installed a COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO in my last build (see My System Specs) and Im very happy with it my temps are low and the 212 EVO is worth every penny

Temps uptime 2.49 hours 33c all cores (and its 23c in my house)




Installing 212 EVO

I will move to a K chip in the future, and want this mainly because I like it. The intel fan works, but I think this looks much better. When I do upgrade, I will probably get the I53570k, and do a modest OC to around 4.2. Thanks for the input guys and gals

Well if looks are important than "I could of had a V8"
COOLER MASTER V8 RR-UV8-XBU1-GP 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler Compatible with Intel 1366/1155/775 and AMD AM3/AM2+/AM2 - Newegg.com

I thought about the V8, and this one too (from addram's specs)

COOLER MASTER Hyper N 520 RR-920-N520-GP 92mm Sleeve CPU Cooler Compatible with Intel 1366/1155/775 and AMD AM3 - Newegg.com

It may be silly so to say at this point, until I do get a k chip, but I really don't like the stock cooler.

Good point Kelly, that's why I picked the evo.

Dude you have been given some great choices to pick from.

I'm not going to tell you which one is a waste of your money because it's your money not mine.

I have never used a stock cpu cooler whether it was good enough or not. Their is no such thing as having to good of cooler.

I chose the Corsair H50 at the time I built this computer for these reasons.
1. At the time it was a great cooler. Still works great with upgraded fans. Not as good as the newer ones.
2. It allows a lot better air flow around the motherboard, video card and ram.
3. It take a lot of weight off the motherboard compared to a huge air heat sink.
4. It gives you more working room in the case when tinkering.
5. It helps keeping things neat and organized in the case.

When I build another computer it will have a enclosed water cooler of some kind.

Thanks Layback Bear. I'm going to try liquid one day I guess.
