EU or US Version of CM Hyper 212 Evo for i7 4790k?

The_Beansta · Jul 28, 2015

Hi, while researching fans for my new build (i7 4790k, z97p-d3, 16gb ram, r7 260x if it's useful for anything), I came across the hyper 212 evo, and based on the high price to performance ratio, I decided it was the cooler I was after. Later I found that another variant of the evo is offered in the U.S. (I'm in the UK), with a faster but louder fan, and shipping looks difficult. Which one should i chose based on my build specs?

There's three 212's. The Original 212 Plus, 212 Evo, and now the new 212X. I wouldn't recommend paying extra just to get one from the US, it won't be worth the shipping.

Here's the 212 Evo in the UK https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr2

You can also just swap out the fan on the 212 evo you get in the UK with another fan.

Hi, the price appears to be about the same between the U.S. And EU versions (including postage) for some reason, but is it necessary for a more powerful cooler for a stock clock i7 4790k? Btw is there any difference between the 212 evo and the 212x evo?

The_Beansta :

If you plan to overclock that i7-4790k, then yes the stock cooler isnt enough. It's fine for the CPU at stock, but pushing it beyond that makes the cooler kind of loud and work really hard.
