DzonyGTX · Apr 11, 2015

I have FX-8320,Cooler Master Seidon 120V or Cooler master Hyper 212 Evo and which would be best for my CPU with slight OC ? Price is the same.

Okay, any solutions ?

I'd use the 212. It's not as noisy and the only moving part that can break is the fan, and new fans are about 8 bucks. A new pump for an AIO unit is not good and often results in having to replace the product.

DzonyGTX :

With a slight OC, blue_smoke makes a very good recommendation. OTH I understand your dilemma; you can buy a good water cooler at a great price and it's very tempting. You have to decide if you're willing to live with the additional noise and cost of replacement parts if it fails. Unfortunately we can't make that decision for you.

I personally Have a seidon 120v. It is freaking amazing. I am getting a average temperature of 39c between my 4 cores on my q6600 at full load playing tomb raider. I dont have my cpu overclocked, but with the temps i am getting, I am planning on it soon. noise is not an issue at all. I bought a 2 pack of corsair's SP120 fans, and used them on the radiator, and I couldnt be happier. Only noise I hear when I dont have my headphones on is the gpu and case fans. Amazing cooler. gonna try to go to 3.6 Ghz with it. XD

hope this helps!

Cooling a non-overclocked Q6600 is easy (the stock cooler on mine has no problems keeping it cool and it's quiet); cooling an overclocked AMD FX-8320 CPU is rather different. The Seidon 120 is noisy only if it has to work harder.

My fans basically idle all the time. Its copper and will never leak.

William Henrickson :

blue_smoke was referring to the pump that could become defective; not to possible leaks.

I was referring to the fact that it could start leaking all over his computer.
