I was planning to use the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO in my first PC build, since it seems to be an effective, inexpensive and popular HSF. However, when I checked the official site, I noticed this under 'specs':
Apparently, the version of the 212 EVO I can buy here in the Netherlands is limited to 1600 rpm max instead of 2000 rpm, which means less airflow and pressure. Now, I've got a few questions about this:
1. Does this significantly hamper it's performance?
2. Is there a way to (safely, easily) override this limit?
3. Is this still a recommended HSF? If not, what are some good alternatives in the same price range? For reference, I'm planning to buy the Intel i5 4670K, and probably will overclock it a little in the future. My case (Corsair 500R) is supposed to have good airflow.
Thanks in advance!
