[H3llF1re1000]

can i use GELID Gamer Wing 12 PL fan as the cpu fan with the 212 evo ?? the fan has a pwm connector so i guess it should work but ill still ask to be 100% sure

Yes, you can use any 120mm fan with the Hyper 212 Evo.

but only the ones that have a pwm connector right ?

 

[Eduello]

No, any 120mm fan will do. Whether or not you need a PWM connector to control the fan speed depends on your motherboard.

well i heard someone said if i use a 3pin fan as the cpu cooler it will say error he said

As I said, it depends on the motherboard, but most boards are fine 3-pin fans.

i have the Asus P8B75-M LX. Is that one ok ?

 

[Eduello]

Yes, it's OK, although a 3-pin fan might run at 100% at all times since it can't be controlled through PWM.

well thats what i want xD

but the fan i want to replace it with only has 1,200rpm.. i was going to go with push and pull config but idk if 1,200rpm is recommended/good enough with the 212 evo

im sure the asrock z97 extreme 4 supports 3pin fans as a cpu cooler

 

[Eduello]

I'd say 1200rpm is just fine. And AsRock Z97 should support it as well.
