Currently I am having Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo for cooling... But I need a good cooling like water cooling... I will also overclock somewhat later.. Hyper 212 Evo is good for stock settings but as I am going to overclock I need a water cooler ... Which one would you guys recommend for my system? and I prefer Corsair Water Coolers...

Why don´t you just try and see how far you can push it with the EVO?

If it can´t get you far enough, you can still get an AiO (or custom loop).

uh.. both of them are not available... I found Cooler Master Seidon 240M to be a good water cooler... Would it cause better cooling than Hyper 212 evo? I read that it does cooling almost SAME as Corsair H100i....and Seidon 240m is available for me to buy...

So will it be good? or I should stay with CM Hyper 212 Evo....
And I will be overclocking my system very little, not at very high settings... Will CM Hyper 212 Evo do the job even?

:D hmm I thought about it and was wondering if Hyper 212 Evo wouldn't take the load so then what? That's why I asked... BTW I did overclocked my system to 4.0GHz and it gone quiet well... The system is stable no tickling...

I am staying with the CM Hyper 212 Evo and going to get a new cabinet Thermaltake Chaser A41 Snow Edition replacing my current Antec DF-85..

What do you think ? Is Thermaltake Chaser A41 Snow Edition a good case?

Depends. ;)

You will be limited to a couple of 120 fans and one 240 rad at max. If that´s enough for your needs, then yes, it´ll be fine. Well, assuming you didn´t pay a load of money for it of course. ;)

Uh I think that this cabinet would do enough ventilation and cooling... Which is better : Thermaltake A41 Snow Edition. or. Corsair Carbide 500R ???

Actually right now 500R is not available here in India so I came with A41... Which is better?? Or you would suggest a better case?

First off, I gotta admit I am quite the Corsair fan. ;)

That being said, I don´t have personal experience with either case but imo the 500r offers much more cooling options. So, my vote goes for the 500r (no surprise there ^^).

Have you checked out some cases from NZXT? They have some nice looking, feature-rich cases, too.

Honestly, you dont need water cooling to get some pretty good overclocking numbers with most cpu's. My 2500k was pushed to 4.8 with a hyper 212 evo, with temps never going above 75c, with my last build(with a corsair carbide 400r case) Now i have the same cpu in a new build, and have a corsair h60 water cooler. I havent overclocked it nearly as far yet, but from what I've seen so far, the temps arent much, if any better than the evo.
The big advantage to the water cooling is the amount of space it frees up on your board. I can add/remove ram, get to all my fan headers, things of that nature with the water cooler that I couldnt do with the evo. Also, your board isnt having the stress of holding up a big, top heavy heatsink.

Uh... No NZXT cases are available here to buy... Okay tell me which case will do better air cooling ? Corsair : Carbide 400R or 500R ?

Because I see the main difference between the two is that 500R includes 200mm fan at side panel and 400r does not... While in size both are same...In 500R and 400R the location of fans is same... 500R comes in white also... 400R comes in black... While the other things are just the same... As per me 400R's looks are better than 500R as in the front just above the I/O ports the case has a little plain up like figure....

And in 400R my air cooling would be like this : 2x120mm front fans....2x140mm fans at top....1x120mm fan at back....1x140mm fan at bottom....2x140mm fan at left side panel...

While in 500R my cooling at left side panel would limit to 200mm fan and if I were to increase the cooling I need to get 2x140mm fans to fit in the left side panel and that would be a total waste as 200mm fan would be just lying idle on my table... So I think 500R is rebuilded 400R...

Here the difference in the price of 500R and 400R is $33.07 ! And that is a amount of money I care for... I get the 400R in $86.30 while the 500R is $119.37 ... So I think I would be wasting that $33.07 for just a 200mm fan... while I could get a 200mm fan in $20.41 ...

So I think I should get 400R.... What you think?
One thing more... Would Hyper 212 evo fit well in 400R? As it is a, well, big enough heatsink...

The 400r has plenty of room for the hyper 212 evo.
The 400r also has fan mounting points on the drive cage inside, giving you the option to add 2 more 120mm fans.

Okay tell me two things -
1.Is the original CM thermal paste good or I need to get a new better one?
2.What is the difference between Corsair Carbide 400R and Corsair Carbide 500R...? <--- really confused with that...

As for the case differences, from what i can see, they are VERY much alike. The 500r has a 200m case fan on the side, where as the 400r has mounting points for 2 120 or 140mm fans. The 500r also has hinged side panels. The 400r has a small"handle" built into the top front that the 500r doesnt have. Oh, and it appears that the 400r is only available in black, where the 500r has a couple of color choices.

As for the thermal paste, http://www.amazon.com/Arctic-Silver-High-Density-Polysynthetic-AS5-12G/dp/B0087X71ZO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1387691880&sr=8-4&keywords=thermal+paste says its eligible for international shipping.

:D yes my friend I can buy from amazon.com and ebay.com but the shipping charges are high... -_- and I am restricted to $807 budget and I am almost filled...

I am still searching for a thermal paste but the only options I see is the three I posted earlier about which you've never heard...

Okay see this is my build-


Intel Core i5 4670k
MSI Z87-G43
Corsair Vengeance 2x 4GB RAM
Corsair Carbide 400R
WD Blue 1TB
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
4x Cooler Master Essentials Blue 140mm Fans
2x Cooler Master Sickle Flow Blue 120mm Fans
Zotac GTX 650 Ti 2GB AMP! Edition <---- this I have bought earlier so this is excluded from the current budget
Corsair GS700 PSU <---- This also I have bought earlier *excluded*

And the total of the included items are - $785.69
The thing left is the thermal paste and here those three options I just posted is only available... :(

I just noticed you said you have the paste that came with the hyper 212, it would be better than the Deepcool options you have listed, you should just use it. For some reason, i was thinking that you were talking about reusing the paste that was already on the hyper 212. Dont really know why...
