Hey there--I've already posted about this. [http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2547493/efficient-fan-replace-stock-fan-cooler-master-hyper-212-evo.html] However, after two months of hesitation, and on my way to the well-suggested NF-F12, I came across two other choices. Just wanted to discuss those with you here and then go for the purchase.
No. 1 - The NF-P14r [http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=productview&products_id=90&lng=en]
This one would cost me a bit less than the NF-F12, plus, it is a designed CPU fan, so that might come as handy, in contrast to the NF-F12, which is after all, a dedicated case fan. The only thing that could be a problem is it's a 140mm model, but again, as stated on Noctua's website, it has got 120mm mounting holes, so I'm assuming it won't be a problem for the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO?
No. 2 - Deepcool GAMMA Archer [http://www.deepcool.com/product/cpucooler/2013-12/7_459.shtml]
Okay, I don't intend to use the whole cooler, just the fan. If it would be possible, wouldn't it? I mean to dismount the fan and use it with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO? Needless to mention, this would cost me a lot less than the other two, hence it's a cooler and not merely a fan.
Once again, I don't manually OC my FX-6100 (just using the turbo mode, which goes all the way up to 3.9Ghz) and I have my PC on 24/7/365 and game quite a lot. In a nutshell, no aggressive OCs planned with this.
Thanks in advance
