I5-3570k CPU fan?

[foshizz]

Anyone have any suggestions? Hope fully not too expensive either. This will be going on an asrock extreme4 but in a haf 22, so height is no problem. One day I do want to try oc'ing, but as of now I still have no experience.

Guys, no killer price tags please. A 200$ cooler will be rejected immediately =p

Actually I do recommend it a lot in mobo section.

Actually I'm unsure of my previous decision. I just remembered that I'm getting a haf 922. There's plenty of room in there, but idk if I could get a radiator to mount in there. Or I can get a cm 690 ii, which has a radiator mount inside, and multiple fans.

Personally, I like the haf look better.

 

[amuffin]

I like the CM 690 II advanced 😉

What other specs do you have amuffin? Case, fans, and ambient? I've got the 212 plus, but my temps are crap.

 

[nikorr]

What temps do u have?

OC'd?

Thermal paste used? Name...

 

[lycros]

i5-2500k @ 4ghz, in a rosewill blackhawk, using hyper 212+ (stock paste)

Idles about 40c and loads about 70c ambient is probably 24-25c

Was running about 10c cooler idle and load when I was using AS Ceramique, but when I cleaned the HSF I decided to try the stock paste. It hasn't been too big a problem and I'm waiting until I get my new desk to reseat and switch back pastes.

Also the stock fan on my hyper 212+ is so loud, and it vibrates a lot too.

 

[nikorr]

Mostly those OEM's that comes with it, are not as good as the specialized ones are.

 

[foshizz]

So how hard would it be to mount the radiator in the h60? Would I have to buy mounts or somthing?

 

[nikorr]

Its easy. U will reuse the vent mounting holes in the back .

[nikorr]

Could have dual fans.

 

[foshizz]

Oh cool. And that was a picture of it mounted to a haf 922?

 

[nikorr]

I think it was Corsair case. But it fits just fine.

 

[nikorr]

This is CM with H60.

I'll repost this again in the appropriate section bcuz I still have to get a psu.

Am I missing any important pieces/extra fans?

 

[nikorr]

No, with the water cooler, it will be even cooler inside.

It comes with bunch of fans already.

And your GPU is not going to get really hot.

I think its fine now. U can always add later.

Where do u live? If u have a hot room, it still should keep the temps juts fine.

It will be hotter inside, the tubes give off a lot of heat.


op most likely mounted the 212 wrong.

I was reading that its about 4-5C cooler.

But his case should not be bothered by that either way.

 

[foshizz]

I live in California. It gets hot in summer, but the place I put this at would probably get to 80 degrees Fahrenheit ambient temp max. (sorry I dont know conversion to Celsius)

 

[amuffin]

Don't know where you're living in CA, but it's not that hot (Bay Area)

Would you pay $20-30 for that difference?

Waste of money.

 

[nikorr]

Its more quiet. And I would. $30 is nothing these days. Unless unemployed.


I wanna get the Cosmos and custom water cooling.

Thinking if I should wait for Haswell or get the 2011 and 6core.
