For that price you can watercool.



And yet I would still go with the EVO. I don't even have the EVO, I bought a Respire T40 at a deep discount, but when I was shopping around, the EVO always out performed mine.

Possibly, are the advantages much greater?
and so the Geild Solution for the evo212?

When on a budget, a cheap water cooler isn't going to do you much good if any over a comparable air cooler. I actually switched back to an Air cooler from a single radiator water cooler and I am running the same temps. Case ventilation plays a part in this too. Water cooling can transfer the heat to a radiator outside of the case if that is how you have it setup.

There are as they have better cooling and you have more space ine the case.

NZXT Kraken 60 might be something but that I will look tomorrow as it's later for me.

The Geild solution is a good solution with high pressure mounting solution and if the cooler master evo has that, well I can't say since I don't own one.

Don't forget that the mainstream i5 and i7 have a cheap thermal compond as it's not soldered anymore so you will get cooling improvements once the heatspreader is opened and apply new (for instance a small portion of the Geil solution) but this you do at your own risk.

Nice, learned the 'hot' tip for which thermal paste to use, thanks much..
Myself, liquid cooling the APU, the factory heat-sink/fan assy is inadequate so i have good reason to bypass the heat-sink therapy and skip straight to liquid-cooling, from my experience if it runs hot from the start with the factory heat-sink then chances are an aftermarket unit will help tame the temps but not like a quality liquid-cooling system, even considering a dual-fan/radiator assy just to cool it down that much more, at 4.4MHz maxed out on the A10-6800K without any additional overclock i can easily justify a little overkill..
