Title: 6.99 cpu cooler
Post by: Lain1911 on Fri, 20 June 2014, 23:31:20
Ive got a 8320 and by the reviews it seems better then the stock fan. Might pick this one up for 16.99 then -10 coupon :o
Thoughts?

At that price, might as well, but the hyper 212 evo is usually $30 and is really good

Looks pretty anemic to be frank.

That thing with an 8320? I agree with the hyper 212. That would be the minimum I would go with. That thing looks on par with the stock cooler.

Meh.  There are many other good options than the Hyper 212 Evo...and since most people swap out the fans, you may as well get a nicer and quieter Thermalright or Phanteks.

My Hyper 212+ (still have it set up from when I bought it before the evo came out) keeps my i5 2500k (stock clock) at 30C idle and I've never seen it surpass 60C under load. I'm not all that knowledgeable about the different cpu coolers available now but I'd consider that pretty good for a $30 cooler if you don't want to overclock much.

Also from what i can tell this is -10% off and not -10$ off. Not quite a stellar deal if you ask me.
