if youre overclocking just run water, zero reason to use anything other than stock if you're not. As such 212 is a piece of shit.

You don't know what the fuck it is you're talking about

The 212 is even a good cpu cooler price wise anymore you can get an H7 for the same price or a tad bit more and have better cooling. 212 is literally the I'm new at building and just chose the most common cooler.

>The non led option is literally right next to it
lol
Brody Edwards
The non-led option is 3 models back and almost 5 years old. That's like talking about features of the Honda Civic from 2005. It's irrelevant.

>H7 for the same price or a tad bit more and have better cooling
Why do people keep saying this? The H7 is a compact tower cooler, it will not keep up with a full size tower cooler. Physics just won't allow that.
Liam Wilson
>Fixed the shit tier mounting
>Improved clearance for your tactical RAM
>Still the best aesthetics
>Still quiet as fuck
Is it even possible to be better?
Kayden Robinson
The LED model is the outdated one you fucking brainlet.
Jason Watson
Water isnt all that great it just takea a while to heat up but then it is hot
Nicholas Fisher
NH-D15. fuck aesthetics, acquire low temps
Alexander Clark
Simple, it's the BSE effect
Big. Stupid. Effective
Nolan Sanders
bzzzzt rrrrrt wrong
The EVO was released in fucking 2011: techpowerup.com
And the LED was launched in August of '16: pcpartpicker.com
>pic related
The EVO is aaaaaancient
Isaiah Cruz
Yeah, don't get a retarded dual tower cooler: More expensive, uglier, and there's no point in the extra tower. Cool. Dark Rock """Pro""" my ass
Ryan Powell
There are a lot of coolers that do better.
Dylan Torres
It's using the original 212 old as fuck heatpipe design you mongoloid, the date is when the LED of the the original 212 design came out.
Thomas Cox

Henry Rogers
Is this what poorfags are telling themselves now? It's a good budget cooler and that's about it
Ayden Edwards
Thermalright Le Grand Macho RT
Better than Noctua.
James Ward
I'm still using this old thing. The stock fans are mediocre at low speed but pretty good at max.
Dylan Ramirez
Thicc
Alexander Wood
The NH-D15 has served me well since 2011. Not sure whether to use it on my 8700k build or go for an AIO
Juan James
You're not meant to use bilge pump.
Ian Rodriguez
water cooling is a meme
Kevin Cook
Using the word "meme" as a vague counter argument is a meme
Caleb Smith
t. liquid cooling shill
Dominic Martinez
The 212 is only good because it is cheap and does a decent cooling job. I hate the idea of a fucking 12 ton cooler pushing on my CPU socket. Also, the goddamn thing can be moved around even when mounted properly.
Leo Price
leds are for ricer faggots
Ethan Edwards
t. Noctua Shill
Henry Garcia
you're all wrong. it's the scythe kotetsu.

they even have a version two that was recently released.
Gavin Long
it's not, the Corsair H80i V1 is the best CPU cooler, period
Anthony Wright
Scythe (unfortunately) doesn't have any North American presence anymore so their coolers are a moot point.
If you're a bong or poo in loo or whatever, then Scythe is the way to go. For the rest of us, we just ain't got that option.
James Barnes
I go noctua they haven't failed at impressing me.
Hunter Sanders
I have this cooler and a 780ti on my mini-itx bitphoenix prodigy case, I get ~96c temps on my I7 2600 cpu, and my GPU usually doesn't go above ~86c when playing PUBG at 1440p (every setting on very low).
Is this normal?
Evan Clark
the mugen 5 rev b and mugen max are available on newegg and amazon.
Josiah Sanchez
Pretty sure the i7 2600 is supposed to throttle at 95C. Your case much have terrible airflow or something, it shouldn't be getting that hot with a tower cooler like that.
Christian Powell
>if youre overclocking just run water,
Lol you're retarded. A decent tower air cooler like OP's will do just fine for OC.
Logan Thompson
absolute retard

>What is the best CPU cooler and why is it the hyper 212?
I got a better question:
why do case manufacturers try to tell us their case is better because it allows more air to flow through it. Why dont case manufacturers sell cases on the basis that they keep dust out? What use is a fucking super ice cold fucking 4000 litre fan case if it is full of fucking dust?
Hey everyone buy the latest greatest HAFX or whatever bullshit, it may be full of dust but it's cooler than a naked eskimo's arse in a blizzard
Josiah Jenkins
why would you downgrade? D15 performs better and makes less noise then AIO's
>cools as well as a $70 noctua or be quiet
U14S isnt really noctuas top of the line though, compare it to a D14 or D15.
Hunter Richardson
Hyper 212 is very good but it is hardly the best air-cooling HSF out there.
Hyper 212 and its later revisions can handle almost every CPU at stock. It struggles you try to use it to cool a X1950, i9-7960X, i9-7940X but then again they are server-tier CPU "rejects" that were never meant to be clock that high.
Nathan Nelson
Water-cooling is the way to go if you want performance and low-noise output.
AIO kits are okay, but DIY solutions are the way to go. They aren't cheap but they are worth it (better performance, easy to maintain and looks cleaner).
Carter Hill
okay report the temperatures to me after you do rendering for 18-24 hours.
Aiden Flores
step aside faggots
Colton Walker
That's a weird way of spelling Xigmatek Dark Knight... This bad boy has kept my 3930K at a just nice 28 degrees.
Jeremiah Brown
Which cooler is this? Is it AM4 compatible? Getting a bigger case soon (probably) and I'm looking for a good cooler.
Aiden Sullivan
It's not. It's the noctua nhd15
Liam Murphy
Add dust filters, problem solved
Elijah Young
How the fuck did this mediocre cooler get so much mindshare?
Alexander Rodriguez
>compare it to a D14 or D15
you're then paying three times as much and even then
Gabriel Jenkins
Noctua NH-D15
Phanteks PH-TC14PE
Bequiet Dark Rock Pro 3/4
Thermalright Le grand macho
Thermalright Silver Arrow
Thermalright Macho
All coolers above are better in OPEN air test benches compared to any AIO with smaller than 360mm radiator.
High tdp gpu makes also cpu hotter and viseversa so the real problem is heat transfer outside of your RGBlgbtqGamer-pc-masterrace case.
I've always used pc cases without sidepanel so aircooling stays the most effective method of cooling.

Cameron Smith
It's cheap, quiet, and is sufficient for 99.9% of people.
If you're into extreme overclocking your FX-9590 then there are better performing coolers out there. You'll just have to pay 2.5X as much to get them. But they're not going to do a damn thing for a typical consumer CPU running at stock clocks or a mild overclock.
Ayden Hernandez
Dark rock pro 4, yes it's AM4 compatible.
Julian Miller
My stock Intel cooler is just about silent under full load and rarely goes over 60C.
Jack Mitchell
that's a guy isn't it?
Lucas Ramirez
It's trash
Luke Adams
where2buy v2 in US?
Nolan Nelson
i'm not sure desu as the other user said scythe doesn't have much of a presence in the usa anymore.
Gavin Scott
Welp guess I'm sticking with my stock 1600 cooler then
Kayden Ramirez
Because it was best budget option when I bought it in 2011. Now it is comfy in my 2700x build.
Ryan Morgan
212 is a great cooler. Bit of a bitch to mount but it's quiet and fairly priced.
Landon Thomas
Resistance is futile
Justin Richardson
Check my build with HR22, love it
Ian Nelson
imagine spending over $50 for a cooler and getting minimal improvements
