i have a 212 evo right now on a mild overclock amd a8-6600k. been pondering on water cooling and wondered if i will get alot lower temps or not worth it?

do you want to overclock it furter? if not stick with the 212 because 45 aint hot at all if you want to overclock it way further you might need a stronger cooler something like h80i or something similar

Stick to 212evo ,your temps are very good,you can even OC more.In that case if you used thermalpaste of Coolermaster that was included on Evo you can try a better paste like Arctic Silver5 but its just optional.
