Cooler Master Hyper T4 vs. Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus for anFX 6300

[leftisthominid]

I am looking into ordering a new CPU cooler today or tomorrow.

I am looking at the Cooler Master Hyper T4 and the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus. I was wondering, in terms of ease of installation (as well as performance), which is a better pick?

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
Motherboard: Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 MemoryCase: Rosewill R5 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case

Hello !
If you have taked a so high mobo, it's because you wan't OC I believe .... ? Not ?
Anyway, I would recommend this cooler :

Better cooler for this price category (But be careful, overhead of last RAM slot)
Or an Hyper 212 Evo ...., not plus, it isn't the same
And check your case, 161mm at least (6,4in)

Hyper 212 is better in performance and the installation is about the same.
Here's a good comparison:

I don't have a lot to spend on a CPU cooler, max $30

The Hyper 212 is larger. Is there anyways to find out if it will block the my RAM slots? As of Friday, I will have sticks in all for RAM slots.

It can fit. The G.Skill Sniper heat spreaders aren't that tall.
You can always adjust the fan mount a bit to the top(about 1-2cm).

Thanks for the pic, also what is the difference between the 212 PLUS vs. EVO?

 

[TheMentalist]

The EVO is height adjustable. In performance the EVO is about 1-2c cooler, not much.

 

[AHBman]

The EVO have a plain base, on the contrary of the +

 

[TheMentalist]

No huge difference, again, the EVO is slightly better. That's why the slight price difference.
The difference is the fan they come with.
You can get the EVO for that little advantage.

 

[AHBman]

Yes, it's true

The +

The Evo

The EVO is height adjustable. In performance the EVO is about 1-2c cooler, not much.

Are you comparing it to the+ or t4?
