hoofhearted4 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 so im really debating between the H60 and the 212+. at first i was leaning to the H60, but at $70. im just not sure its going to be as big of a difference between the 212+ which is only $29. now let me say i will be doing some OCing, but not to the point where ill be pushing my CPU or anything to its limits. im just curious as to what u guys think is better, considering performance, noise, and whatnot, but also price. i just dont see the H60 being that much better for over twice as much,....i guess its also worth noting that which ever i get will be set up in a push/pull config. i know the 212+ provides extra brackets for this, i dont know if the H60 does as well... so ya opinions, suggestions, anything else? all much appreciated guys :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nysba Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 http://www.overclock.net/air-cooling/1001181-i5-2500k-4-9ghz-cm-hyper.html No, you will not see dramatic differences in low idle temperatures, but you will when stressing the CPU. But that link is with a massive overclock, about the max of what that CPU will go to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik005 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) Go for the h60 when you over clock you will notice lower temperatures. And it doesn't take up much room. I have read strong rumours that the new amd buldozer cpu's will be bundled with watercooling similar to the antec watercooling kits.

hoofhearted4 Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 hmm yea, idk. if i OC it wont be that much, maybe to like 4.0. i just dont see it worth a few degrees for twice the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) Are you going the fan way, or the water way, I'm with fans with a bad ass Antec case. Its not just the heatsink its also air flow in the case alone as well. http://tech-reviews.co.uk/images/reviews/antec902/First.jpg:thumbsup: yea never overheats with this baby. More fans the better, especially the size.:biggrin: I'm using the stock heatsink that came with my last cpu and it never goes above 35C. 40c when oc'ed. Edited August 14, 2011 by Thor.

Draakon Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Am I the only person who just buys a random black case, without any fancy light effect addons and just looks at his monitor at all times when behind a computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoofhearted4 Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 lol i have a pretty good case picked out....HAF 932. big, roomy, and good air flow from what all the reviews said. i think im going to go with the 212+. as i said, i dont plan on doing any extreme overclocking. so i dont see the few degrees the H60 might hae over the 212+ to be worth the $70 over the $29. and thanks Thor for your continued help, i very much appreciate it and enjoy discussing it all with you. makes me more excited for the time ill be able to finally build it, plus its great to learn about it!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
