H60 or evo212

Which is better performance wise? I know the 212 is cheaper but i want the lowest temps.

 

My system is

 

Antec300 case

3570k with stock cooler at stock speed

ASrock extreme 4

12gb ram

MSI TF GTX 660OC

CX500 corsair power supply

seagate 500gb hdd

 

want to overclock cpu and add a second 660 for SLI but also need a better power supply.

 

system is fantastic as is tho. handles BF3 on ultra 64 player maps 50-55 fps easily. As well as skyrim with TONS of mods and all settings cranked to max. 720p res

neither.

 

if you want a 120mm Rad get the H80i. its the better of the single rads. though honestly the 100i is better. but if you cant get a 120x2mm rad in your case, then H80i.

 

if you want heatsink, id get the NXZT Havik 140. its one of the best heatsinks on the market next to the Noctua NH-D14 and the Havik is about the same price as an H60. and i think it probably beats the H80i out in temps. or at least Matches it.

All of these options will suit you better.

yeah, after i posted this i realized the H80 would fit in my case. I will more than likely go with that. case is antec 300.

 

dont like the bulky huge air coolers. like corsairs nice clean look.

Your case is perfect for the single radiator watercoolers, in most cases you will lose the only out-take fan

 

My first thought is to install it in the horizontal space right above the processor but I haven't seen any real evidence that this would cool better.
