The Hyper 212 Evo will work and is certainly enough to handle stock loads..... OTOH it's kinda like putting ketchup on a steak in the sense that you are buying a high end CPU and putting a entry level budget cooler on it. Personally, would at the very least move up to the Phanteks PH-TC14-PE for another $25 ... it will lower temps by 7 - 10C

Note that it is very easy to over tighten the mounting screws on the Hyper 212... I have repaired 3 builds to date where users did so .....

1) The motherboard cracked (AsRock build)
2) The motherboard traces were broken (MSI build)
3) As above but loosening the screws restored functionality (Asus WS Build)
