Hyper 212 evo w/ i7 7700k

[BOBTHEBUILDER432]

So im building a new pc and planed on getting a hyper 212 evo. but instead of using the fans it comes with i planned on putting Corsair - Air Series Purple 2 pack 52.2 CFM 120mm Fans on both sides. I was wondering if that would be a good alternative than buying a 60 dollar cpu cooler like the dark rock 3?

No, probably not.
The fan on the EVO is actually quite decent, and replacing it with push/pull with other fans really wont improve your cooling performance all that much.
If you are going to spend that much money on cooling, a more expensive cooler would probably be better since the heatsink is improved.

If you don't want to spend much on a cooler you can probably get away with using the 212 EVO as is, although you're going to be thermally-limited when it comes to overclocking. I have a 6700K at 4.5 GHz with a 212 EVO and I find it pretty reasonable in terms of temps and noise.

well im only replacing the fans for the led lights for my white and purple build. Could you list a $40 dollar cooler that would be able to overclock to 4.6 ghz if i were to replace the fans.

Coolermaster had a new Hyper 212 LED shown off during Computex. You could look at the upcoming Cryorig Quad Lumi but that's $60. There's also LEPA NEOIllusion. These coolers are RGB LED so you don't need to buy fans seperately.

Otherwise get an AIO with RGB.
