Will Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO fit in Corsair Carbide 200r?

orbitingful · Oct 31, 2014

I am looking for a budget cpu cooler for gaming that will replace my noisy stock amd cooler. I came across the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. Will it fit in my corsair carbide 200r case? I have a asus m5a97 R2.0 motherboard. My CPU is AMD FX-8320 (AM3+). Also, how quiet is this cooler whilst playing games?

On newegg it states coolers up to 160mm in height. So you would have a few mm. of clearance.
That is without a side fan installed.
If a side fan is installed in the top position it will not fit.
Depending on fan speed 9-36 db. From almost inaudible to slightly noisy. Although the noise is mostly air flow instead of fan whine.

It fits. It has been used in the 200R case review done by Anandtech:

Further in the review they discuss the noise levels at stock and when overclocked.

The Hyper 212 Evo will fit inside the corsair 200r

Unolocogringo :

As far as noise goes, +1 to this^

Also, how much of a difference in sound will it make, compared to AMD stock cooler whilst playing games?

huilun02 · Nov 1, 2014

If you are going to compare an aftermarket cooler with AMD's stock, I don't think sound will be your prime concern...

orbitingful :

IT will be a lot cooler & quieter compared to the stock heatsink.

Which configuration - push or pull is more effective. If push and pull is good, what is a good fan to use with the default? Is Arctic F12 PWM 4 Pin 120mm High Performance Case Fan good for dual configuration?

bartholomew · Nov 1, 2014

The stock fan that comes with the 212 evo is sufficient.

the difference between push, pull or push~pull is marginal.
An extra fan is not really worth it

Arctic F12's are fantastic fans. I currently have 5 of them in my NZXT S340 case and two of them are hooked to my Seidon 120V water cooler. Honestly, you could not hope for a better fan than that, especially at the price point they sell for.

huilun02 · Nov 1, 2014

With just 1 fan it is best to have the fan push air through the fins and towards toe rear of the case.

If push+pull, get a silent static pressure fan, like this one:

huilun02 :

You could save a fortune and just use 2 F12's in push pull. These things are pretty damn quiet, only registering 29db at full speed. Noctuas are good fans, but are massively overrated considering their cost.

Should changing the cpu heatsink be enough for optimal noise - or do I need to change the fans provided by Corsair in the 200r carbide? Thank you for answering my previous questions! I am probably going to go with push or pull (1 fan).

huilun02 · Nov 1, 2014

Is noise that much of an issue to you? Isn't this a budget build?

Jet engine loud is obviously unacceptable but I don't think you'll get anywhere close.

orbitingful · Nov 1, 2014

huilun02 :

Yes it is a budget build. Whilst playing games; such as watch dogs, arkham origins or any graphically intense game, the cpu stock fan is very noisy. This is why I am looking to replace it.

Push pull does not help EVO performance.

orbitingful · Nov 1, 2014

What are the advantages of push pull?

huilun02 · Nov 1, 2014

Push pull will help to increase the amount of air that is sent through the radiator fins.

It will improve cooling performance but not by a lot. It will also depend on the size and design of the radiator.

I degree maybe 2 at most , extra fan isn't worth it.
