How does cooling performance compare to Hyper EVO 212?

I haven't used Hypet EVO 212. However, I can tell you that the Zalman heat sink and fan work excellent. My AMD 2x64 3800+ CPU runs cooler than I have ever gotten any CPU to run. Doesn't even get to 80 degrees under a load. Usually it stays on the low 70s. Normally this cpu runs well over 110 degrees with oem heat sink and fan. With the Thermaltake Ruby Orb it ran at 90 to 99 degrees.

I am not familiar with the EVO 212. It looks like a nice fan. The Zalman works great for me.

I personally use a Hyper 212 plus and it fits just fine, I'm not sure if the EVO is bigger though, but I might have some trouble if I want to install one on the last slot of the RAM. It probably has to be removed if I need to insert/remove just on the last slot. Hope that answers your question.

the 4820k has the LGA 2011 socket, which is said to be better than the previous sockets (1150, 1155, etc). iv had the 4820 for a couple months now, no problems with the evo 212 on it. as far as caches, bridges, and threads i believe the 4820k is slightly better, but with a slightly higher cost

I have an ASUS Z87PRO with Intel i7 processor and have affixed the Hyper 212 EVO on top as the CPU cooler with no problems. The Hyper 212 EVO can use one or two 120mm fans to cool it. Mine came with 1 fan that I placed to the right of the cooler (if you're looking at it) and it draws air in and pushes it towards the back fan. I bought 2 120mm fans for the front of the case that suck in air and then the Hyper 212 EVO pulls the air through and send it out the case via the rear 120mm fan. It is VERY tight in regards to my memory slots (I have Kingston Hyper RAM) but fits. The fins on the RAM add a bit of width to the memory sticks but it does fit. If you have normal memory with no fins you'll be fine. I guess it depends on your motherboard and the placement of the CPU and memory slots. I bet the engineers thought this out and it would be fine with almost every configuration. Do a quick Google search with you motherboard model and the use of the Hyper 212 EVO if you're a bit hesitant. Long story short: It worked for me. I've added a picture just in case (not the clearest image but note the memory to the right of the cooler and note the space between it and the rear fan if you're thinking of installing a second fan for pull-push).

Yes, I'm using a hyper 212+ right now with about a 2in clearance fr the tower door.

I did the same thing with the Corsair H80i, and then I replaced my stock case fans (Obsidian Series® 750D) with these - was very pleased with the results. My system is super quiet - and gets superb airflow. Unfortunately, I don't have temperature data to compare with - so I can't honestly say it was a net gain with regard to cooling. The premise for me changing the case fans was simply that I regard Noctua as a best of breed in the world of fans.

I own this: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan (RR-212E-20PK-R2)

if it's the 1150 compatible than it should you might run into memory clearance issues I used the hyper 212 evo and it was close as far as the heat spreaders not touching , got about 1/8" to 1/4" clearance with the 212 with the 212 and a 4770k had it OC'd to 4.4ghz and it only got to 60*c running Prime95 for 12 hours

the stock heat sink that comes with this cpu is JUNK throw it away and buy something like a cooler master hyper 212 EVO this heat sink will keep your cpu much cooler

The Fans are 120mm just like the description says. I am not sure what the size of the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is but I would check the measurements of it first to see if 120mm Fans will fit it.

I'm not familiar with watercooling but with good air circulation in your case, a cool room and adequate case fans you should be fine to overclock safely even with the stock heatsink as long as you aren't pushing it past 4ghz. Be sure to monitor core/mobo temps until you know how your rig will perform, there is abundant software around to do so. Also keep in mind the EVO 212 cooler is HUGE. It may be difficult to fit depending on your mobo and case.

Yes it does. The case has 165 mm clearance for the CPU cooler and the Hyper 212 EVO cooler is 159 mm tall.

The stock cooler inst all that bad. If you plan on overclocking I would go for a Hyper 212 evo. Mine stays at around 13-14c while idling with stock cooler though.

Yeah, it handles it pretty well. I'm running an FX 8320 at 4.55GHz rock solid. I could go higher, but my Hyper 212 Evo can't handle the heat. As for GPU OCing, that's gonna depend on the GPU, and how much juice your power supply can get to it.

Don't use the stock cooler, or the thermal past it comes with. Get your own closed loop water cooler or high end air cooler if you plan to do any type of overclocking. I use a Corsair H100i and it allowed me to get up to 4.7 GHz easily. The overall quality of your cooling solution will ultimately decide how high of an overclock you can get. It isn't necessarily that Haswell is that hot, it can just get very hot while stress testing. A high end cooler will make stress testing much easier and won't limit your max threshold like lower end coolers will.

Stock cooling will do just fine. I have mine slightly over clocked and no worries. Just make sure you have good air flow through your case.

i wouldnt suggest OC on stock heatsink. the EVO 212 looks similar to what i got (Arctic Freeze 7 pro), i have my system OC at 4Ghz and in a full tower case i get no more that 55 C during the summer (in oklahoma we have high humidity for the summer), and now with winter set in it stays sub 45 C
