Hy all. i got a problem. So i brought the amd phenon ii x4 965 quad core black edition processor. i had the problem, the stock cooler was so loud and spinned as hell like 6k rpm and cpu was always like 60c. I read some stuffs and there was writed i should buy the Cooler master hyper 212 evo... i buy it and its really noise but its spinning only like 1600 rpm max.... My cpu is always 63c when i am playing game, and my Core is always more then 62c.... My comp spec is like this:

Asrock 970 extreme3
amd Phenom ii x4 965 black edition, cooler master hyper 212 evo
Graphic:sapphire hd 7770 1gb
4gb ram

pls help me what should i do?

Do you have your CPU overclocked?

The 965 is quite a power hungry chip at 140w TDP so it will always run a little bit warm, being 60+ degrees on the 212 seems a bit off though.
I know that I used to own the 955 and the damn thing would idle at 40c on the stock cooler.

You could always buy a different fan to go on your Hyper 212 which would aid in the silence factor. Aside from that, check you mounted it correctly and applied the thermal paste in the correct fashion. Perhaps remount, if possible and see if things stay the same.

Finally, what's your case airflow like? Do you have at least one intake fan and exhaust?

I was just wondering in case that might be the cause of the high-ish temps.

My suggestion is to remount your cooler, making sure to thoroughly clean off any old thermal paste and replace it will new stuff.

Also, to buy a better fan to go on the 212, I would suggest a Noctua NF-F12 for its Static Pressure and low noise level. If you can get around the aesthetics of course.
Can you tell me how many case fans you have in your system and how fast you have them running too btw? Preferably also state how many are intakes and exhausts.

i have 7 fan in my case + this cooler. The sad thing is that i just came today home and replaced the stock to this 212... i did all good, what you suggested i did it....i run my fans like 1300 rpm... idont know why is it so hot...
i use the speedfan program btw...

System:40c
Cpu:58c
Aux:13c
Smiovt4,5,6, all 3 at 40c
HD0:45c
Gpu:41c
Core:62c

Interestingly enough your HDD and GPU are running at quite high temperatures too. Nothing dangerous, but the hard drive temp is always a good way of seeing roughly how warm things are inside your case.
Remember things can never be colder than the temperature of the ambient air.

If you're certain you mounted the 212 properly then there's not much need to give it another go, any fan at 1600rpm is going to be a little bit on the noisy side. around 1200-1400rpm is the sweet spot for noise/performance imo.

It is summer, either your room is pretty warm or the case and its fans aren't doing a very effective job bringing in fresh air and removing the warm air. Your CPU is sitting borderline on the recommended limit for AMD CPUs, although I'm a little bit concerned because this is only while gaming, a stress test could run it overboard.

Don't worry though, CPUs do have a throttling system in place to protect themselves from this kind of thing, and an automatic instant shutdown if things get dangerously high.

Do have a go at replacing the 212 fan for the sake of silence, but as things stand I would either look in to improving the case airflow, or find a way of keeping your room cool.

Currently? Probably not.

The 965BE has quite a high TDP of 140 watts, overclocking, or a non-minor overclock at least, will require you to bump up the voltage in small intervals until it's stable.
This increases power draw, which then extends into wasted heat, so things will run hotter. (Much hotter, depending on the clock).

Not only will you need an exceptional cooler to expell all of this new heat, but your motherboard will need to be up to the task as well. With a stock TDP of 140w not many will be.

The power that goes to your CPU from the 8-Pin connected to your Power Supply first has to go through an array of capacitors etc.. on the board. This consists of capacitors, VRMs and a large 'passive' heatsink to keep them cool. This can vary depending on your motherboard, more caps/VRMs = more overclocking headroom, providing they're good ones. This is known as power-phase, and you can find yours on the spec sheet for your motherboard on the manufacturers website.
It usually also means a larger, more advanced heatsink sat on top of them.

The more power going through these things means more heat emitted from them, overclocking significantly on a basic, budget board with a 4+1 phase for example, would probably mean you end up burning them right out.
Overclocking gains you more speed but there are factors like this to consider before hand.

I probably wouldn't recommend overclocking your 965.
