Hello!
I realize that this might have been asked already, but I haven't been able to find a suitable answer.
I recently got my fx 6300 cpu ( motherboard - GIGA-BYTE AMD 760G/SB710 AM3+ mATX)
Case - Cooler Master Elite K350 Midi-tower

I am very very disappointing with the stock cooler, it is so LOUD, i actually have to use my headphones to play games and not hear the fan noise.
Note that I have my case right next to me on the table, max half a meter away from me.
Second note, I do not plan to overclock.


I would like to replace it and, judging by many reviews, good options would be
1) Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO
2) Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

Judging by the reviews, 2nd option is more silent.
However, IF i understand correctly, 1st option has easier installation with some sort of a clip mechanism.

Which would you recommend me out of these two, NOT taking into account price difference (i can afford both, but I do not want to spend any excess amount of money too).

Yesterday i just bought TX3 evo, was having some overheating problems with the stock cooler. It is really good so far, on idle it 27-30, while rendering and gaming it will never brake more than 54-55

And what about the noise level? idle/under load?

I use the hyper 212 evo at the moment and it's not difficult to install. It can be fairly quiet at 800rpm which is how I run it.

But will 212 EVO fit in my case? Cooler Master Elite K350 Midi-tower. I know TX3 will for sure.

Yes, filphil, that is my case. Well, then the dispute is settled, i guess. TX3 will be my new custom cooler since EVO apparantly will not fit.

Yep. Your case calls for a cpu cooler with a maximum height of 148mm. The 212 evo is 158 if I recall.
