I am pretty indecisive whether or not I should get a Noctua NH-D14 or a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. I know Noctua has made some really nice fans but the reviews on Newegg aren't the best for it. Please respond I need to know.

Ya... the CM 212 EVO is only capable of overclocking the 3930k to around 3.8-3.9ghz while having it around 60-65C on load.... so you'll probably want to get to a NH-D14 if you're gonna overclock it further.


if you're running it on stock clocks, even the stock cooler would be fine.

But that cooler is a monster and I am afraid it will just fall off cuz it will be mounted on a vertical MOBO. Also I am pretty content with 3.9 Ghz, that is pretty damn fast.

I know it is a monster, but down to the meat of the matter. Will a hyper 212 EVO cool my i7-3930k at 3.9 GHz With no problems?
