Hello all,
I currently have a Hyper n520 that I'm getting okay performance with. I'm currently running my i5 3570k at 4.4GHz and getting max temps of 78C after about 5 minutes of prime95 on small fft's.
I was thinking about getting a TPC-812 due to the awesome reviews, plus the vapor chamber implementation seems to work pretty well. I can't get a liquid-cooled cooler due to the fact that my case (thor v2) will not properly allow for cooling without case mods, which I don't want to do. I like the TPC-812 because it wouldn't be as obnoxious as the Phantecks or the Noctua coolers, where they would block the RAM, meaning that I would have to remove the heatsink whenever installing/swapping RAM.
Will the Cooler Master TPC-812 give me a pretty big performance improvement over the Hyper n520? Or does anyone know of a better one? This just got one of the best reviews and benchmarks, so I figured I'd go with this one.
