The Cooler Master website does not list a HAF XB "II" EVO. Is this false advertising? Is this really just a HAF XB EVO?

I believe the II addressed a wiring problem that was causing hard drives to fry.

The II signifies that it is the second generation HAF XB, but is not necessary since the EVO also denotes being second gen. It really is just a HAF XB EVO.

THere is a discussion about this on the AVS Forums also. PS I just got my 5687SAX and it is fantastic. I'll post feedback after a few weeks to ensure nothing goes wrong with it. So far sooooooo good.

Yes, it comes with a stock fan. If you are planning on over clocking, the 212 evo is probably the best you can get for the money. There are more expensive fans, but the 212 evo gets you the best bang for your buck in my opinion.

Its just like the picture. They no longer sell it with the clear side panel. Supposedly you can buy it separately on Cooler Masters website. You can see it in this Unboxing video I made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFNVSIZxDhE

AMD uses the same mounting mechanism for all AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1, FM2 and FM2+ motherboards... These coolers replace the default mounting bracket with a custom one which only uses the 4 mounting holes in the motherboard which will be at identical places for all of the above platforms. The only consumer AMD socket you need to be careful with at this point is the newer AM1 socket, which just has two holes on the opposite corners of the socket for mounting... As far as I know, there's no 3rd party coolers for these yet! Corsair's Web site doesn't specifically mention FM2 or FM2+ support, but it does mention FM1 support, and there's definitely no difference between the mounting mechanism in FM1 and FM2/FM2+ (http://www.corsair.com/en/hydro-series-h55-quiet-cpu-cooler). The Newegg.com page for this cooler does mention FM2 support explicitly (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181029). Several reviews from trustworthy sources indicate that it works with FM1/2 boards as well (http://www.hardocp.com/article/2012/12/03/new_corsair_h60_h55_cpu_liquid_coolers_review/2#.U3u7HukU_mQ).

the cooler is excellent. What I meant in my bad english, was that I had trouble installing it on my Asus Sabertooth motherboard with an Intel i7 and one case from Cooler Master. In my case it will be necessary to disassemble the entire PC to install it correctly. Can you understand what I'm trying to explain in broken English of poor quality? Best regards

Cooler Master hyper 101a is insufficient for that chip. You will not be able to find any cooler that does not use a custom backplate that will be any significant upgrade from the stock cooler. I would absolutely recommend the hyper 212 evo for your processor.

I think the answer to this is pretty obvious. This cooler is just barely better than the stock one. Only meant to cool 40Watts or so.

It does come with a stock fan/cooler but I would highly suggest buying a different one. The reason most people decide to buy a (k) CPU is because it is unlocked and generally used by enthusiast to more easily overclock to higher processing power. Here are a few options to consider.Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heat Pipes (RR-B10-212P-G1)Corsair Hydro Series H110 280 mm High Performance Liquid CPU CoolerI purchased the second one and have my CPU sitting at 4.5GHz running stable and very cool.Hope that helps.

I'm not sure what the corsair case looks like, but in my cooler master haf xb it fits deeper than the plastic face plate. It should be flush with the mounts for two 5.25 drives

I am not sure if that is the phat version of the 360. That cooling fan only works on the original phat 360 (Elite, Regular, Halo 3 lmtd. edition, halo 4 lmtd. edition)

Looks like it's on this I/O replacement straight from Cooler Master. If this isn't what you need, browse this site. Bet you'll find it. http://www.cmstore-usa.com/haf-912-i-o-panel-oem-package/

I believe that the FTW edition is clocked higher than the SC version. Higher clock speed = bigger need for cooling = need for an additional fan. Also, the original price listed for the FTW edition was 289, while the SC edition was 269, so there was an original premium for the higher clock speed. My FTW is great.

I looked at lots of coolers and thought I would go with water cooled, but ended up getting a CoolerMaster 212 EVO HS/Fan combo and love it. Runs cool on a 4770K and it's silent.Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan (RR-212E-20PK-R2)

Cooler Master hyper 212 Evo is what I bought for mine. Had great reviews and is reasonably quiet.

there is no evo water cooler. this case fits a seidon 120m on the rear and a seidon 240m on the front. If you were referring to hyper 212 evo, this case supports cpu coolers up to 160mm height and the evo has 159mm so it should fit.

No!! For the CPU from VT-STAR. Its OEM ver. which is cool....like 30% off the BOX price and the FAN from AMD is not as good as the Generic Fan outside. This CPU was EOL like 2yrs ago...LUCKY I still can find it here.
