CPU Cooler

[diamond96]

Hello , anyone able to help me ?
I want to get a CPU Cooler but there are many models out there.
Which are the better ones by Cooler master ?

I see there are

212 Evo
212 X
212 Turbo
V6

My concern is whether can it fit into my case ?
Using a Sharkoon T28 case. Beside my stock fan cooler is my RAM so I'm worried that it can't fit in too.

MOBO is a MSI Z77A G43 Gaming.

Max CPU cooler height for the T28 is 16cm. The 212s probably fit just barely. The V6 is out of the question standing at 16.5cm.

Why not go liquid cooling?

212 Evo: 120 x 80 x 159 mm
212 X: 120 x 79 x 158 mm
212 Turbo: 120 x 80 x 159 mm
V6: 131.5 x 120 x 165 mm

T28 Max. height CPU cooler: 16 cm

Thanks bro , but I just called but Fuwell , they told me that 212X is at 157MM so does that means it will fit into it but just nice only ?

by the way , I just open my casing and measured from the CPU to the most outer area its only at 13cm only

Heard that must mantain it by topping up coolant , cleaning the fans every once a month. That puts me off

Is this true ?

 

[tony_ong]

normal cooler u also have to clean them often when the fan or the heat sink is dirty

If I get a simple H80i water cooler , the whole package will only be this right ? as per picture.

And I will have to mount that 120mm fan onto the fan behind my computer and place the "cooler" thing on my CPU right ?

I seen some with radiator (2 fan and quite long ) what's that ? my case don't have space for that if it's needed.

Just get a closed loop liquid cooler like a Corsair H80i, H100i or a Thermaltake Water 2.0

No need top up, no leaks, no fuss and does the job well.

Most importantly, don't really have to worry about space.

Probably needa blow off the dust from the radiator once in awhile.

I doubt your case could fit the H100i 240mm radiator.

However, with the H80i mounted at the back, it would probably look like this.

I got a T28 casing...212 can fit...barely...but no worries at all

Alright !
Can I ask the radiator is used to cool the liquid right ?

Thanks bro !


Will now consider between the both and see which to get , if price diff not much I go for the better one which i suppose is liquid cooling

 

[Nostalgiaa]

Yup. Same principle as a car radiator.

kk thanks

By the way how does the radiator get attached to my rear fan ?
They will provide long screw to screw all together or there are some other part ?

 

[diamond96]

Paiseh another question is that i google and some say intake and out , what's actually an ideal one ? Or I should just mount one end to the rear and leave the other as it is , so I will have 1 blowing out and 1 in ?

alot questions i know sorrii i'm new to this

It probably will have 4 screws on each side, as pictured in the installation guide.

Corsair recommends to have it as an air intake into your case.
However most people prefer to have it configured as an exhaust.

It's abit expensive compared to the 212 though.

If you're on a budget you can consider cheaper alternatives like a Antec Kuhler H2O 620/920, or the Thermaltake Water 2.0.

Hope this helps.
