[WTB][US] CPU Cooler

pthomas191 · Mar 21, 2012

Now that I have a GTX 480, I need a good cpu cooler for my X4 940. I was looking at the Hyper 212+ on newegg for $20 AR. That seems like a good deal, but I would like to have the push - pull config. If anyone has the hyper 212+ or similar with dual fans I would be interested. My price range is from $20 - $25.

The hyper 212+ is a awesome cooler, and you won't find better within the price range or even a little above. Go with the 212+ or the 212 EVO

The corsair A70 is $25 AR on newegg too, but I don't know if I will have memory clearance issues with the A70. At least with the hyper 212+ I can slide the fans up and down. If someone is willing to sell there hyper 212+ evo for around $25 I would take that!

I will stand behind the Corsair A70! It has been one of the best air coolers I have used. It does a wonderful job especially in a PUSH/PULL configuration.

The A70 is a good cooler for the price right now on newegg, but it only has 3 pin fan connectors and you can't really slide the fans up or down like the 212+

Yes you can

Also any 120MM fan will fit on either side so if you have better fans like me, I run two 110CFM Zalmans But as I said you CAN slide fans up and down if needed.

Ah ok. So now I can chose the hyper 212+ for 20 AR or the A70 for $25. The hyper 212 evo seems too much at $35. Also, I don't have any good fans, so I'm wondering if I should go with the 212+ and add a second 4 pin fan.

The standard corsair fans are nice as well! They are quiet but only 3 pin.

I'll go for the hyper 212+. It can be mounted in any direction and I just have to add a matching Blade Master fan to it in the future. Thanks for everyone's help!

I have used 5 Hyper 212+ on all my i7 Folding rigs with the dual fan set-up. It's a great cooler and has the additional clips for adding the 2nd fan. Still the beast deal hands down.

Sneeky has a nice Havik120 in his thread which I think is also a solid CPU cooler.
