I have the evo 212 cpu cooler and I was wondering how you attatched it- does it come with a clip?

Mine sadly, did not come with any clips, just the triangular thing's as well.
2080663
Just bought this. Mine did NOT include a clip of any kind. Just a baggie with screws and rubber triangular vibration washers.

Yes when I bought mine it did come with clips so you can put it on the other side. The one that comes with the 212 blower into the radiator and the second one put on blowing away from the radiator and then I would recommend that you put another one on you case blowing the same way. These are my recommendation. Hope this helps you.

Yes it does. It's more than enough for my CPU and i am gamer. You will need some Thermal Paste. Arctic Silver Paste is outstanding for performance.

I installed this after mine was fully built as well. If your case has a cutout below the cpu on the motherboard, no problem. Most cases have a substantial cutout. My case had the cutout but the cooler mount was slightly larger than the hole, so I had to expand the opening about 1/4 inch which was easy to do as the metal was very thin and I could bend it. Hope this helps.

It comes with a heatsink, not case fan... I don't like stock heatsinks though so I got a corsair liquid cooling system instead.

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

No, I bought one same time I got this because it had in the description, "What's in the Box" Just CPU and manual. Stock one is terrible anyway. I think if you really want the stock one you can get it under 5 bucks.. But you really don't want it, Better to spend an extra 10-15 bucks for a better one. "Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO" is what I used on it, and fits my upgrade to a 6 core. This CPU is still being used in my bands studio recording PC.

Measuring my case it is about 6.5 inches from the motherboard to the side of the case. I read that the 212 evo is 6.3 inches tall ,so if your CPU is less than .2 inches thick it might just fit. It would be really close and I can't garentee anything without actually trying it in the case. I am not accounting for the additional room the window supplies so that could be another few tenths of an inch. Either way it would be really tight. The x-sniper is a pretty big case but its not too ecsesivly deep. Bottom line, I think I would look for a smaller CPU cooler or a deeper case but if your heart is set on this pair you might be able to pull it off, but keep the receipt.

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 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

Yes! It comes with paste pre-installed. I purchased some expensive thermal paste before I realized it wasn't necessary!

It comes with a heatsink and fan with thermal paste already applied.Depending on how much you want to push your processor, I would recommend finding a better heatsink since the one included is merely 'adequate' for normal uses. Mine has pretty high temps with even small overclocking with the stock cooler.

It comes with a heatsink/fan and does not need extra thermal paste because the thermal paste has already been applied to it. Stock cooler is moderately loud if your case is within 2-3 feet from your ears. Idle is tolerable. It revs up when playing games and can interfere with your speaker volumes. After market cooler is considered.

Noctua is very good and generous about supplying extra fan clips for their coolers for no cost. All you need to do is browse their website and contact them via email. Noctua ships extra parts free of cost.On the other hand, I've seen Megahalem 25mm and 38mm fan clips work on Noctua coolers. Another alternative.

Yes, it comes with thermal paste on it. If you're like me though you'll want to have a backup tube of the stuff handy, as I wasn't satisfied with the way I had installed it the first time and had to do some fiddling to get it just right. A small tube is cheap and handy to have around.

Yes, the thermal paste is a patch approximately 1 inch square and works very well to help keep the CPU cool.

Yes, there's thermal paste already applied to the surface. There's a clear plastic piece that protects the paste that you have to remove. Very nice heat sink - don't know if it's all that much better at cooling but MUCH quieter than the Intel fan I had that had a high pitch to it.

You actually request them from the Cooler Master website. 3.5" Tool Free Clips. Last time they sent me 2 sets.
