Hello,

I recently just built my very own first computer a couple of days ago and have a couple of questions (that are probably dumb and have been asked already but still)!
Firstly, I am new to this "push and pull" system and was wondering that if you were to look at the motherboard from a top-down view and you were to use this cooler, then your right fan would pull in air while the left one pushes out air correct?
Secondly, preferably for anyone who uses this CPU cooler, what's a good fan to buy along with this cooler since I assume it only comes with one fan?

I believe my temps are fairly low-average on idle/load with stock cooler but the stock cooler fan is noisy at 4-5K+ RPM under load, plus lower temps don't hurt I'm sure! I would do liquid cooling but I am scared of leaks and stuff so this is totally fine for me (don't plan to oc that much, don't know yet)

Related Specs:
CPU: FX-8320
Motherboard: ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0 AM3+
Case: NZXT Phantom 410 (currently only using stock chassis fans, I have not bought any more yet)

Thanks :)

Having an extra fan on the CM 212 EVO makes almost no difference.

If you are still interested I'd say a pair of 120mm Corsair SP120s would be nice.

What does your case manual say is the maximum CPU cooler height? I believe the 212 EVI stands 158 mm tall. As far as a second fan, just about anything that is 120 mm should work, just make sure the 212 EVO comes with an extra set of fan clips or you will have problems mounting the second fan (although you might be able to buy a set of clips from Newegg or the like or the Cooler Master Store.

Wow, those differences are in fact very small. Hmm, if that is the case then maybe I will just use the included fan that it has for a while and if I run into problems (which I shouldn't) then I will take a look at those SP120s.

According to the manual I found: http://www.nzxt.com/uploads/downloads/manuals/manual_phantom_410_multi.pdf
It is 215mm wide, so including the mobo/cpu, it should fit the 212 EVO pretty easily right?
The dimensions of the 212 EVO according to Microcenter (where I will be getting the cooler from) says: 116mm x 51mm x 159mm for the heatsink.

Ah yes I installed the cooler about an hour ago and am satisfied with it! I had to redo it since I messed up the thermal paste at first but it was well worth the effort, load temps are down by at least 10C! It fits just barely! Thanks all for answers + chart.
