Should i get a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO for my i7 4770k?

Should i get the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO for my i7 4770k when im going to overclock? or do i need more Cooling? i also dont want it to be to expensive.

Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212 will be good enough for your requirements. With it, you can easily go upto 4.2-4.4 GHz with controlled temps.

You don't want expensive cooler otherwise, I would have recommended Noctua NH-14D/NH-U14S.

Okay, so how much is the Noctua? and if the Evo is good enought why do you recommend the Noctua then? Im playing games like arma 3, battlefield 4 and other games that requries a lot of CPU. So im also afraid it will begin to lagg because it gets to warm, so the Noctua or the Evo?

It's certainly the best in its price range. The Noctua NH-D14 (big air) and Corsair H50 (water) are what I'd look at if your budget were bigger.

But if i choose the Evo will it be good enough to keep the tempature low so i will have a good performence when gaming without any laggs, or will it be more safe to buy the Noctua?

Desktop CPUs don't (usually) throttle when they warm up. (Laptops usually do) A CPU will typically be under 70C at full load, while it's throttle temperature is around 95C.

These bigger/better/pricier coolers are needed for higher overclocks (4.8GHz+). A 212 EVO would be great for a moderate overclock (4.0GHz+).

 

[Oliversisu]

So if i buy the Evo i will not experience the Throttle or what? and the i7 4770k when it's overclock is it going to be over 4.8GHz when playing games?

A Noctua NH-D14 is HUGE (google it). It will very likely be overkill unless you are going after crazy overclocks. It IS the best cooler for it's price, but it's size and weight can be an issue too.

For your requirement, Evo 212 is plenty and its price effective as well. It will serve your purpose well. Don't go for any other cooler.

Okay, well i dont think the space will be a problem, i have the same cabine as this guy http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/4884/d14a.jpg But im still confused if i should buy the Evo or Noctua :/ but can you decide how much it should overclock? i dont know how to overclock at all, that's my big brother. But anyway, if im going for low Overclocks i should buy the Evo and big overclocks the Noctua right?

 

[Oliversisu]

Okay thank you Guys.

 

[EasyLover]

Evo 212 is enough for your requirement. Unless you've budget stick with it.

 

[Oliversisu]

Great, thanks

There is no guarantee that your 4770k can reach high overclock speeds like 4.8GHz+; realistically I would expect 4.2-4.5GHz for an average chip on air cooling. I already have trouble staying at 4.2GHz on my 4670K with a Xigmatek Gaia (similar performance to the CM Hyper 212 EVO) without it going 80-90C under load in IntelBurnTest. I must have a bad chip. It's mostly luck of the draw and hoping you get a golden chip that can overclock high with low voltages.

 

[Oliversisu]

Okay, but the i7 4770k is saying 3.5ghz can it really overclock all the way up to 4.2-4.5Ghz?

 

[EasyLover]

4.2-4.5 GHz is the safe guess/estimate one can made. It is totally upto the chip. One can't be sure about the true overclocking potential of the chip.

Any air cooler with a large heat sink will do for that chip, and any all-in-one with 120mm will also be more than enough. Just go with the best balance of features and price.

I know this sounds crazy to some people who make a big fuss about 1-2 C, but all you need to do is stay under the thermal limits of your processor. The 4770k is a pretty small ship that produces less energy than high-end air coolers and 120mm+ all-in-ones can dissipate. Get something within those parameters, and you'll be good to go.

Just to give an example, my current 3930k runs Prime 95 at 4.5 Ghz all night long, and it stays in the high 60s, sometimes piquing into the low 70s. What cooler? It's a 90mm all-in-one. Why? Because I have a small case with a mATX board. You'll be fine.

 

[Oliversisu]

Okay thanks

Haswell series CPUs are power efficient but they produce more heat because VRM is right built onto the chip. That was the major concern for overclocking community when Haswell architecture was first introduced. Still it is overclocked

Yes, it's one of the best budget coolers ever.
