OK so I have both those coolers and only just purchased the Cooler Master - CM 690 III case which came with the water cooler.
The 212 Evo has done a fantastic job at cooling my system (specs below) to around 13/14 at idle and max 38 at high load (currently summer). So my question is, would I see any benefit installing this water cooler? I have seen some bad reviews about the bundled fan that comes with it (have installed it on the top of my new case as an exhaust on silent mode, see photo) however if i was to swap the 212 evo and install the water cooler I'd obviously use the great fan that came with the 212 Evo rather than use the bundled fan that came with the water cooler.
You probably asking why I even want to bother changing the cooler when I'm already getting good cooling, well why not if I can get better with something that's just sitting in a box?
If anyone needs to know my system specs are:
Case: Cooler Master - CM 690 III
Motherboard: SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0
PSU: Corsair RM750
CPU: AMD FX-8350
Mem: Corsair 8GB DDR3
GPU: 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (MSI) Twin Forzr
This is the current setup of the fans although that begs another question, is the front 200mm fan on this case an intake or exhaust? Sorry I've not had the chance to rip off the front casing to check which way its blowing.
Sorry for the huge post and thank you in advance for any advice
