Best CPU cooler for my build?

CrownedEmperor312 · Apr 5, 2015

PC specs:
FX-6300 CPU
R7 260X GPU
GA-78LMT-USB3 Mobo
EVGA 500W PSU
G. Skill 2x4GB RAM
WD Blue 1TB HDD
ASUS DVD Burner
All inside my Rosewill Challenger case.

What is the best aftermarket CPU cooler for my build that's available from Newegg.ca (Newegg Canada)?

Thanks.

EDIT:I thought of the 212 EVO, and started this thread (http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2598003/cooler-master-hyper-212-evo-fit-build.html). People say the EVO won't fit.

the best aftermarket cooler would be the Cooler Master Hyper212 EVO, it's only $35 and it'll fit in the case too (but just barely lmao)

Hyper 212 evo
But if you can afford it, go for a liquid cooler

IMO, the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is one of the best.

go with Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO , it should be enough for some overclocking as well...

CrownedEmperor312 :

You might need to rethink your case if you think the heat pipes will contact the case. But the heat sink dimensions are (152.3mm= 52⁄2in.) And the Challenger case is 7.48 inches wide, so I bet the 212 Evo will fit.

What do you mean by "rethink my case"?

Rethink, means to get another case if you have second thoughts and/or unless you already have that Challenger case. Like I said, I think the 212 Evo will fit. Looked up the specs and you should be OK. The fan is adjustable too if the memory won't fit. A lot of memory like GSkill, you can remove the heatsink too if needed.

OK, I have G.Skill Ripjaws X Series RAM, and BTW I already own the Challenger case.
Thanks for your help.

people say they've fit the Hyper212 Evo with .5mm to spare. That's almost nothing, but considering you have no fans on the side of the case it won't matter. As long as it fits, doesn't matter how close it is

Yeah, I don't have any fans on the side of my case. And you're right - as long as it fits, I'm happy.
