Anyone using the new i5-3570k with Hyper 212?

[roycelv]

Just wondering how this cooling unit is working with the new IB cpu's. Ive read that the Ivy Bridge processors get hot! will this combination be okay to purchase?

 

[amuffin]

Sure, why not. Expects temps a bit higher than the 2500k.

Depends on if you're planning on ocing or not. But if you are ocing based on the reviews out there an aftermarket cooler would be a good idea. The 212 should be adequate though, unless you plan on quite serious ocing I'd think...

 

[roycelv]

i do plan on Ocing, do you have a better recommendation?

 

[amuffin]

Budget?

<75$ after shipping/taxes

I'm doing 3570K with Hyper 212 Evo. I will probably upgrade to water cooling in a year or so, depending on how it performs.

 

[roycelv]

so what you're saying is.........that you predict it not to be a good combination?..lol

I'm saying in a year or two, games may need a couple more ghz than what I'm clocking it to, and since I don't push my hardware too much- it will give me a little more (or I may just upgrade at that point, who knows). If it wasn't a good combination, I wouldn't be using it. Dropping $1300-1500 (depending on GPU) on a new build. I'm sure I would have shifted towards a water cooler if I thought it was absolutely necessary.

Are you even overclocking it? If not, it's great. If you are overclocking a little, it's good. If you are one of those people who overclocks way past necessity, it's not good.

The Hyper 212+ is on sale right now for $20 on newegg. They are practically the same. With the savings you could buy another fan for it. I Hyper 212+ with an extra fan on it (push+pull) would be better than a Hyper 212 Evo with one fan. But a Hyper 212 Evo with 2 fans could be a 1-2*C cooler than a 212+, in theory (which I will be doing granted I have enough sockets!)

I saw a test where using a Corsair H-100 had a 3570k at 4.62ghz (+1.22 ghz) @ 75*C under full load. If that helps.

If this holds true then a 212+ could not reach a speed of 4.5 and still have good temps.

Op get a frio or a silver arrow. The silver arrow is better

Where are you pulling 4.5 from? And yes, you wouldn't be able to under FULL LOAD.
